sfc: Do not retry hardware probe if it schedules a reset
If efx_pci_probe_main() schedules an INVISIBLE or ALL reset (but nothing more drastic), we retry it up to 5 times. So far as I'm aware, this was a workaround for bugs in Falcon A0 which were fixed in production silicon. Remove the retry. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
