It is because the first call to pci_iov_set_numvfs is done outside of
the pci_cfg_access_lock. This way when I add the clean-up for the bus
numbering failure in patch 7 I don't have to modify as much code either
since the write is already pulled out.

An added bonus is the code is now much closer to what we have in
sriov_disable which has seen much more use than the exception handling
case for sriov_enable, so it has been more thoroughly tested.
