Subject: [net-next 02/12] i40e: Fix for allowing too many MDD events on VF

From: Carolyn Wyborny <carolyn.wyborny@...el.com>

This patch changes the driver behavior when detecting a VF MDD event.
It now disables the VF after one event, which indicates a hw detected
problem in the VF.  Before this change, the PF would allow a couple of
events before doing the reset.
