[PATCH] net/iavf: fix core dump when the link is unstable

[Kaiwen Deng]

Physical link instability may cause a core dump.
Unstable physical links can result in a large number of link
change events.Link change events captured by vf before vf
resources are allocated will result in a core dump.

This commit will check if vf_res is invalid before calling it.
