This is not neccessary for the fix to work, but I think this is intergral to
making the change properly. I mean, before the change in the rebuild path we map
XDP rings to vectors only once and after the change we do this only once, just
previously it was in ice_prepare_xdp_rings() and now it is in
ice_vsi_map_rings_to_vectors().

I have separated this into a separate function, because 2 lines exceeded 80 
characters, which is not in line with our current style for drivers.
And I do not think that this small function creates any more additional 
potentian applying problems for this patch. And the change is small enough to 
see that the logic stays the same.
