    Enabled number of VFs is key for eswich manager to do flow steering
    initialization and vport configurations. However, the number of
    enabled VFs may come from two sources as below.
    
    PF: num of VFs is provided by enabled SR-IOV of itself.
    ECPF: num of VFs is provided by enabled SR-IOV from its peer PF. And
          SR-IOV can't be enabled from ECPF itself.
    
    Current driver handles the two cases in different stages and passing
    the number of enabled VFs among a large scope of internal functions.
    It is usually hard to find out where is the real number of VFs from
    due to layers of argument pass-in.
    
    This patch consolidated that number from the entry point of doing
    eswitch setup, and maintained a copy so that eswitch functions can
    refer to it directly.
    
    Eswitch driver shall always use this number when referring to enabled
    number of VFs, don't use other numbers such as from SR-IOV.
