nfp: don't hold PF lock while enabling SR-IOV
Enabling SR-IOV VFs will cause the PCI subsystem to schedule a work and flush its workqueue. Since the nfp driver schedules its own work we can't enable VFs while holding driver load. Commit 6d48ceb2 ("nfp: allocate a private workqueue for driver work") tried to avoid this deadlock by creating a separate workqueue. Unfortunately, due to the architecture of workqueue subsystem this does not guarantee a separate thread of execution. Luckily we can simply take pci_enable_sriov() from under the driver lock. Take pci_disable_sriov() from under the lock too for symmetry.
