bhyve: Fully reset the fwctl state machine if the guest requests a reset.

Description

bhyve: Fully reset the fwctl state machine if the guest requests a reset.

If a guest tries to reset the fwctl device while a pending request was
in flight, the fwctl state machine can be left in an incomplete state.
Specifically, rinfo is not cleared.

Normally the state machine for fwctl alternates between REQ (receiving
request) and RESP (sending response) and ignores port writes while in
RESP or port reads while in REQ. Once a guest completes the writes to
the port to send a request, the state machine transitions to RESP and
ignores future writes.

However, if a guest writes a full request and then resets the fwctl
device, the state would transition to REQ without draining the pending
response or discarding the received request. Instead, additional
port writes after the reset were treated as new payload bytes, but
were appended to the previously-received request and could overflow
the fget_str buffer.

To fix, fully reset the fwctl state machine if the guest requests a
reset.
