Subject: [PATCH] i40e: Fix issue when maximum queues is exceeded

Before this patch VF interface vanished when
maximum queue number was exceeded. Driver tried
to add next queues even if there was not enough
space. PF sent incorrect number of queues to
the VF when there were not enough of them.

Add an additional condition introduced to check available space in 'qp_pile' before proceeding. This condition makes it impossible to add queues if they number is greater than the number resulting from available space.
Also add the search for free space in PF queue pair piles.

Without this patch VF interfaces are not seen
when available space for queues has been
exceeded and following logs appears permanently
in dmesg:
"Unable to get VF config (-32)".
"VF 62 failed opcode 3, retval: -5"
"Unable to get VF config due to PF error condition, not retrying"

Fixes 7daa6bf3294e ("i40e: driver core headers")
Fixes 41c445ff0f48 ("i40e: main driver core")
