Subject: [PATCH 1/4] pci: move pci_assivned_vfs() check while disabling VFs to pci sub-system

From: Vasundhara Volam <vasundhara.volam@...lex.com>

A user must not be allowed to disable VFs while they are already assigned to
a guest. This check is being made in each individual driver that implements
the sriov_configure PCI method.
This patch fixes this code duplication by moving this check to the
sriov_nuvfs_store() routine just before invoking sriov_configure() when
num_vfs is equal to 0.
