On an I219 (pch_spt+) at jumbo MTU, after a link partner reset (e.g. a
switch reboot) the interface can come back up unable to pass traffic until
it is manually reset. Observed on I219-LM (8086:15b7) at MTU 9000.
When the MAC exits the DMoff state on link-up, the watchdog resets only
the PHY. A bare PHY reset does not re-run the jumbo-frame workaround
(e1000_lv_jumbo_workaround_ich8lan), so the jumbo configuration is left
unapplied and traffic stalls. This was seen with NIC runtime PM disabled;
if runtime PM were enabled, the device should go through a full reset on
resume, avoiding this issue.
Request a full reset (FLAG_RESTART_NOW) instead of the bare PHY reset when
the MAC exits DMoff, so the normal reset path re-applies the jumbo-frame
configuration.

v2: Rework per review. Instead of the fc-latch autoneg-restart
approach, request a full reset on DMoff exit so the jumbo-frame
workaround is re-applied (root cause identified by Matt Vollrath).
Drop the diagnostic e_info. v1:
