Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] i40e: retry VFLR handling if there is ongoing VF reset

When a VFLR interrupt is received during a VF reset initiated from a
different source, the VFLR may be not fully handled. This can
leave the VF in an undefined state.
To address this, set the I40E_VFLR_EVENT_PENDING bit again during VFLR
handling if the reset is not yet complete. This ensures the driver
will properly complete the VF reset in such scenarios.

Fixes: 52424f974bc5 ("i40e: Fix VF hang when reset is triggered on another VF")
