ice: fix crash in ethtool offline loopback test

Since the conversion of ice to page pool, the ethtool loopback test crashes:

It crashes because we have not initialized libeth for the rx ring.

Fix it by treating ICE_VSI_LB VSIs slightly more like normal PF VSIs and letting them have a q_vector. It's just a dummy, because the loopback test does not use interrupts, but it contains a napi struct that can be passed to libeth_rx_fq_create() called from ice_vsi_cfg_rxq() -> ice_rxq_pp_create().
