net: hns3: fix kernel crash when uninstalling driver
When the driver is uninstalled and the VF is disabled concurrently, a
kernel crash occurs. The reason is that the two actions call function
pci_disable_sriov(). The num_VFs is checked to determine whether to
release the corresponding resources. During the second calling, num_VFs
is not 0 and the resource release function is called. However, the
corresponding resource has been released during the first invoking.
Therefore, the problem occurs:

In this patch, when driver is removing, we get the device_lock()
to protect num_VFs, just like sriov_numvfs_store().
