IOFS introducing multiple methods for PR and AFU access.
1. Legacy Model.
2. Micro-Personas in AFU.
3. Multiple VFs per PR slot.

For 1 and 2 model, there are 1:1 mapping between Port device and PR slot (or entire AFU). In virtualization,
it should release the Port device firstly and then assign to VM. In this models, the DFL driver will track  that
the number of port devices has released (cdev->released_port_num in dfl_fpga_cdev_config_ports_vf() function)
are equal with the numbers of SRIOV or not. But in model 3, it has multiple VFs per PR slot, and assign the VF to VM 
without release the port device, so the tracking mechanism of cdev->released_port_num is not workable on new
model. This patch want to handle this new model during VF creation.

This code want to handle the " Multiple VFs per PR slot" model as I mentioned above.
In new model, the port_count want to count that how many port devices have released.
This code looks not good readability, I try to re-write it.
