i40e: reset the invalid msg counter in vf when a valid msg is received
When the number of invalid messages from a VF is exceeded, the VF will be disabled, due to the invalid messages. This happens if other VF drivers (like DPDK) send a message through the driver's mailbox (aka virtchannel) interface, but the message is not supported by the i40e pf driver, such as CONFIG_PROMISCUOUS_MODE. This patch changes the num_invalid_msgs in struct i40e_vf to record the continuous invalid msgs, and it will be reset when a valid msg is received.
