i40evf: allow channel bonding of VFs
In some modes, bonding would not enslave VF interfaces. This is due to
bonding calling change_mtu and the immediately calling open. Because of
the asynchronous nature of the admin queue mechanism, the VF returns
-EBUSY to the open call, because it knows the previous operation hasn't
finished yet. This causes bonding to fail with a less-than-useful error
message.
To fix this, remove the check for pending operations at the beginning of
open. But this introduces a new bug where the driver will panic on a
quick close/open cycle. To fix that, we add a new driver state,
__I40EVF_DOWN_PENDING, that the driver enters when down is called. The
driver finally transitions to a fully DOWN state when it receives
confirmation from the PF driver that all the queues are disabled. This
allows open to complete even if there is a pending mtu change, and
bonding is finally happy.
