nfp: don't hold PF lock while enabling SR-IOV
Enabling SR-IOV VFs will cause the PCI subsystem to schedule a
work and flush its workqueue. Since the nfp driver schedules its
own work we can't enable VFs while holding driver load. Commit
6d48ceb27af1 ("nfp: allocate a private workqueue for driver work")
tried to avoid this deadlock by creating a separate workqueue.
Unfortunately, due to the architecture of workqueue subsystem this
does not guarantee a separate thread of execution. Luckily
we can simply take pci_enable_sriov() from under the driver lock.
Take pci_disable_sriov() from under the lock too for symmetry.
Fixes: 6d48ceb27af1 ("nfp: allocate a private workqueue for driver work")
