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.
