net/ixgbe: retry misbehaving SFP read

Browse Source 
Some XGS-PON SFPs have been observed ACKing I2C reads and returning
uninitialized garbage while their uC boots.  This can lead to the SFP ID
code marking an otherwise working SFP module as unsupported if a bogus
ID value is read while its internal PHY/microcontroller is still
booting.

Retry the ID read several times looking not just for NAK, but also for a
valid ID field.

Since the device isn't NAKing the transaction, the existing longer retry
code in ixgbe_read_i2c_byte_generic_int() doesn't apply here.
