Subject: [PATCH net 7/7] i40e: acquire VSI pointer only after VF is initialized

From: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@...nic.de>

This change simplifies the VF initialization check and also minimizes
the delay between acquiring the VSI pointer and using it. As known by
the commit being fixed, there is a risk of the VSI pointer getting
changed. Therefore minimize the delay between getting and using the
pointer.

Fixes: 9889707b06ac ("i40e: Fix crash caused by stress setting of VF MAC addresses")
