Subject: i40e: crash on NMI by continuous module reload

When unloading/loading the driver in a loop with
modprobe -r i40e ; modprobe i40e
after a few cycles the driver no longer successfully probes and outputs
the following.

I've tracked this down to the following hunk from this commit.

 	/* The main driver is (mostly) up and happy. We need to set this state
 	 * before setting up the misc vector or we get a race and the vector
 	 * ends up disabled forever.

With this hunk removed the driver successfully unloaded/reloaded a
couple of hundred times. Would it be safe to just remove this hunk?
I haven't seen any negative effects by removing this yet.
