libfcoe: Handle CVL while waiting to select an FCF

When a CVL is received while we wait to select best FCF, we drop it
without handling it. This causes initiator and the switch to go
out-of-sync. Initiator proceeds selecting one of the FCFs and tries to
send FIP FLOGI. However the switch may reject the FLOGI, as it has
cleared its internal state, and expects the initiator to start FIP
discovery protocol. Fix this condition by resetting the fcoe
controller.
