From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@intel.com>

Under certain circumstances, the device may not have enough resources to
enable all of the VFs that it advertises in config space. Although the
number of supported VFs is reported upon driver init, it is not obvious
when this is different from the number reported in config space. To
eliminate this confusion, add an error message explaining the problem.
Additionally, move the 'Allocating VFs' message down below the error
checks so as to prevent further confusion.
