ice: Fix increasing MSI-X on VF
Increasing MSI-X value on a VF leads to invalid memory operations. This
is caused by not reallocating some arrays.
Reproducer:
modprobe ice
echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$PF_PCI/sriov_drivers_autoprobe
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$PF_PCI/sriov_numvfs
echo 17 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$VF0_PCI/sriov_vf_msix_count
Default MSI-X is 16, so 17 and above triggers this issue.

To fix it, use ice_vsi_rebuild() instead of ice_vf_reconfig_vsi(). This
causes the required arrays to be reallocated taking the new queue count
into account (ice_vsi_realloc_stat_arrays()). Set req_txq and req_rxq
before ice_vsi_rebuild(), so that realloc uses the newly set queue
count.
Additionally, ice_vsi_rebuild() does not remove VSI filters
(ice_fltr_remove_all()), so ice_vf_init_host_cfg() is no longer
necessary.
