bnxt_en: attempt to reinitialize after aborted reset
Drawing a hard line on aborted resets prevents a NIC open in some scenarios that may otherwise be recoverable. For example, if a firmware recovery happened while a PF was down and an attempt was made to bring up an associated VF in this state, then it was impossible to ever bring up this VF without a rebind or reload of its driver. Attempt to reinitialize the firmware when an aborted reset (or failed init after a reset) is discovered during open - it may succeed. Also take care to allow the user to retry opening the NIC even after an aborted reset.
