This fix assumes PF is always probed before VFs (so PF has smaller
port id than VF).

I am not sure if this is guaranteed, ports ported based on scan
in the sysfs folder.

Instead, what do you think PF port stop/close fail when there
are still VFs probed? I think PF driver can know if there are
VFs ported.
