Subject: [net-next 07/15] i40evf: ignore bogus messages from FW

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@...el.com>

Occasionally on shutdown, the FW will hand us a bunch of messages filled
with zeros, which can cause us to spin trying to handle them. Just
ignore these and get on with shutting down.
