net: enetc: restore RX ring congestion mode for ENETC v4

This commit fixes an issue where the RX BD ring congestion mode is cleared
during runtime reconfiguration and never restored. It tracks the desired
state in a software flag and restores it when rings are re-enabled,
ensuring flow control continues to work.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this read-modify-write on
ENETC4_PM_CMD_CFG(0) need to be protected by si->gen_lock?

It appears enetc4_set_rx_pause() and enetc4_mac_tx_enable() run from the
phylink_resolve workqueue, which does not hold rtnl_lock. Meanwhile,
ethtool commands (like changing loopback) trigger enetc4_pf_set_loopback()
under rtnl_lock.

Since both paths perform lockless read-modify-write operations on the
same ENETC4_PM_CMD_CFG(0) register, could a concurrent link state change
and ethtool command result in a race condition where one of the updates
is overwritten and lost?
