Subject: [PATCH 125/189] net/hns3: fix link status capability query from VF

Currently, the VF LSC capability is obtained from PF driver in
the interrupt mailbox interrupt thread, it is asynchronous.
The VF driver waits for 500ms to get this capability in probe
process.

The primary process will receive a message and do probe in the
interrupt thread context when attach a device in the secondary
process. At this case, VF driver never obtains this capability
from PF.

The root cause is that 'vf->pf_push_lsc_cap' is not updated by
the handling mailbox thread until finishing probe. The reason
this update wouldn't be done is that the handling mailbox interrupt
thread and the probe alarm thread are both in epool thread, and
the probe alarm thread is before the mailbox interrupt thread.
