[PATCH] net/nfp: check whether the generated VF can be used

[Chaoyong He]

From: Peng Zhang <peng.zhang at corigine.com>

All the queue pairs are shared between VF and PF for NFP,
and there exist different assignment policy for different
firmware application.

The user can create VFs up to the max number of queue pairs,
which will cause the last few VFs has no queue pairs and
cannot be used, because PF must occupy some queue pairs by
default.

This commit add check to prevent this kind of VFs be used.
