i40e/i40evf: don't trust VF to reset itself
When using 'ethtool -L' on a VF to change number of requested queues from PF, we shouldn't trust the VF to reset itself after making the request. Doing it that way opens the door for a potentially malicious VF to do nasty things to the PF which should never be the case. This makes it such that after VF makes a successful request, PF will then reset the VF to institute required changes. Only if the request fails will PF send a message back to VF letting it know the request was unsuccessful. Testing-hints: There should be no real functional changes. This is simply hardening against a potentially malicious VF.
