Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] i40e: prevent crash on probe if hw registers have invalid values

From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@...hat.com>

The hardware provides the indexes of the first and the last available
queue and VF. From the indexes, the driver calculates the numbers of
queues and VFs. In theory, a faulty device might say the last index is
smaller than the first index. In that case, the driver's calculation
would underflow, it would attempt to write to non-existent registers
outside of the ioremapped range and crash.

I ran into this not by having a faulty device, but by an operator error.
I accidentally ran a QE test meant for i40e devices on an ice device.
The test used 'echo i40e > /sys/...ice PCI device.../driver_override',
bound the driver to the device and crashed in one of the wr32 calls in
i40e_clear_hw.

Add checks to prevent underflows in the calculations of num_queues and
num_vfs. With this fix, the wrong device probing reports errors and
returns a failure without crashing.
