i40evf: prevent VF close returning before state transitions to DOWN
Currently i40evf_close() can return before state transitions to __I40EVF_DOWN because of the latency involved in processing and receiving response from PF driver and scheduling of VF watchdog_task. Due to this inconsistency an immediate call to i40evf_open() fails because state is still DOWN_PENDING. When a VF interface is in up state and we try to add it as slave, The bonding driver calls dev_close() and dev_open() in short duration resulting in dev_open returning error. The ifenslave command needs to be run again for dev_open to succeed. This fix ensures that watchdog timer is scheduled immediately after admin queue operations are scheduled in i40evf_down(). In addition a wait condition is added at the end of i40evf_close so that function wont return when state is still DOWN_PENDING. The timeout value is chosen after some profiling and includes some buffer.
