octeontx2-pf: Disable packet I/O for graceful exit
[ Upstream commit c926252205c424c4842dbdbe02f8e3296f623204 ]
At the stage of enabling packet I/O in otx2_open, If mailbox
timeout occurs then interface ends up in down state where as
hardware packet I/O is enabled. Hence disable packet I/O also
before bailing out.
