ibmvnic: Fix failover case for non-redundant configuration
There is a failover case for a non-redundant pseries VNIC configuration that was not being handled properly. The current implementation assumes that the driver will always have a redandant device to communicate with following a failover notification. There are cases, however, when a non-redundant configuration can receive a failover request. If that happens, the driver should wait until it receives a signal that the device is ready for operation. The driver is agnostic of its backing hardware configuration, so this fix necessarily affects all device failover management. The driver needs to wait until it receives a signal that the device is ready for resetting. A flag is introduced to track this intermediary state where the driver is waiting for an active device.
