Subject: [net-next 3/9] i40e: Fix attach VF to VM issue

From: Paweł Jabłoński <pawel.jablonski@...el.com>

Fix for "Resource temporarily unavailable" problem when virsh is
trying to attach a device to VM. When the VF driver is loaded on
host and virsh is trying to attach it to the VM and set a MAC
address, it ends with a race condition between i40e_reset_vf and
i40e_ndo_set_vf_mac functions. The bug is fixed by adding polling
in i40e_ndo_set_vf_mac function For when the VF is in Reset mode.
