Enabled number of VFs is key for eswich manager to do flow steering
initialization and vport configurations. However, the number of
enabled VFs may come from two sources as below.
PF: num of VFs is provided by enabled SR-IOV of itself.
ECPF: num of VFs is provided by enabled SR-IOV from its peer PF. And
SR-IOV can't be enabled from ECPF itself.
Current driver handles the two cases in different stages and passing
the number of enabled VFs among a large scope of internal functions.
It is usually hard to find out where is the real number of VFs from
due to layers of argument pass-in.
This patch consolidated that number from the entry point of doing
eswitch setup, and maintained a copy so that eswitch functions can
refer to it directly.
Eswitch driver shall always use this number when referring to enabled
number of VFs, don't use other numbers such as from SR-IOV.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
