i40evf: relax and stagger init timing a bit
On some devices, in some systems, in some configurations, the VFs would
fail to initialize the first time you loaded the driver.
To correct this, increase the delay time for the init task slightly, and
wait longer before giving up.
If we enable VFs and load the VF driver in the same kernel as the PF
driver, we can totally overwhelm the PF driver with AQ requests because
all of the instances try to initialize at the same time.
To help alleviate this, stagger the initial scheduling of the init task
using the PCIe function as a multiplier. We mask off the function to
only three bits so no instance has to wait too long.
With these two changes, initializing 128 VFs on a single device goes
from four minutes to just a few seconds.
