When a VF issues an LPORT_STATE request to enable a port which is
already enabled, the PF will first disable the VF. Then it is supposed
to re-enable the VF again with new settings. This is primarily done in
order to ensure that the switch management software properly clears the
previous VF settings. (ie: switch flow rules and so forth). However,
there is a bug in the flow because we check if VF is enabled and don't
re-enable it at the end. The issue is that we disable the VF in order to
clear switch rules, and never follow-up with a re-enable. This results in
a call to enable the VF results in disabling the logical port.
