Subject: [PATCH 4.18 025/235] nfp: dont fail probe on pci_sriov_set_totalvfs() errors

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@...ronome.com>

[ Upstream commit 5b0ced17edc5710d4e946392d0f2934a9e07b37f ]

On machines with buggy ACPI tables or when SR-IOV is already enabled
we may not be able to set the SR-IOV VF limit in sysfs, it's not fatal
because the limit is imposed by the driver anyway.  Only the sysfs
'sriov_totalvfs' attribute will be too high.  Print an error to inform
user about the failure but allow probe to continue.
