[PATCH net 04/10] ice: skip unnecessary VF reset when setting trust

Similar to the i40e fix, ice_set_vf_trust() unconditionally calls
ice_reset_vf() when the trust setting changes. While the delay is smaller
than i40e, this reset is still unnecessary in most cases.

When granting trust, no reset is needed - we can just set the capability
flag to allow privileged operations.

When revoking trust, we only need to reset (conservative approach) if
the VF has actually configured advanced features that require cleanup
(MAC LLDP filters, promiscuous mode). For VFs in a clean state, we can
safely change the trust setting without the disruptive reset.

When we do reset, we maintain the original ice pattern that has been
reliable in production: cleanup LLDP filters first, then set vf->trusted,
then reset. This ensures the privilege capability bit is handled correctly
during reset rebuild.

When we don't reset, we manually handle the capability flag via helper
function, eliminating the delay.
