1. Sample mcp pulse and mcp sequence in nic load instead of in init_one
as they may change by the time we want to use them.
2. Allow cnic to access device during nic load (by adding a new "LOADING" state
to recovery flow). This prevents the unnecessary cnic timeout which resulted
by cnic attempting to access because nic is loading, but being blocked because
of the Recovery state.
3. Issue 'fake' driver load command to mcp when last driver unloads to prevent
mcp from taking ownership. When recovery is complete unload fake driver to
allow mcp to initialize the hardware before first driver loads.
