[PATCH v1 07/15] net/ixgbe: store max VFs in adapter

Currently, `rte_flow`-related checks use `rte_eth_dev` to check for max
VFs. With coming rework of flows, the aim is to make the code as
multiprocess agnostic as possible, and `rte_eth_dev` pointer is
process-local.

To support this in VF-related checks, cache max_vfs in ixgbe adapter
during device init and read it in the rte_flow check paths to avoid direct
dependency on `rte_eth_dev`.
