ibmvnic: Reuse LTB when possible

Browse source

Reuse the long term buffer during a reset as long as its size has
not changed. If the size has changed, free it and allocate a new
one of the appropriate size.

When we do this, alloc_long_term_buff() and reset_long_term_buff()
become identical. Drop reset_long_term_buff().
