[PATCH net 01/10] iavf: return EBUSY if reset in progress or not ready during MAC change

From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <redacted>

When a MAC address change is requested while the VF is resetting or still
initializing, return -EBUSY immediately instead of attempting the
operation.

Additionally, during early initialization states (before __IAVF_DOWN),
the PF may be slow to respond to MAC change requests, causing long
delays. Only allow MAC changes once the VF reaches __IAVF_DOWN state or
later, when the watchdog is running and the VF is ready for operations.

After commit ad7c7b2172c3 ("net: hold netdev instance lock
during sysfs operations"), MAC changes are called with the netdev lock
held, so we should not wait with the lock held during reset or
initialization. This allows the caller to retry or handle the busy state
appropriately without blocking other operations.
