i40e: make use of i40e_reset_all_vfs when initializing new VFs
When allocating a large number of VFs, the driver previously used i40e_reset_vf in a sequence. Just as when performing a normal reset, this accumulates a large amount of delay for handling all of the VFs in sequence. This delay is mainly due to a hardware requirement to wait after initiating a reset on the VF. We recently added a new function, i40e_reset_all_vfs() which can be used to amortize the delay time, by first triggering all VF resets, then waiting once, and finally cleaning up and allocating the VFs. This is almost as good as truly running the resets in parallel. In order to avoid sending a spurious reset message to a client interface, we have a check to see whether we've assigned pf->num_alloc_vfs yet. This was originally intended as a way to distinguish the "initialization" case from the regular reset case. Unfortunately, this means that we can't directly use i40e_reset_all_vfs yet. Lets avoid this check of pf->num_alloc_vfs by replacing it with a proper VSI state bit which we can use instead. This makes the intention much clearer and allows us to re-use the i40e_reset_all_vfs function directly.
