[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/i40e: revert fix of PF notify issue when VF not up

[Xiaoyun Li]

This reverts commit 035a8cf88f010c82de3040c895c801ce0849b065.
Don't send messages to inactive VF will cause DPDK PF failing
to send messages to kernel VF.
With this revert, this issue will be solved.

Applied. Never a good news to revert a fix.
Hope it will be fixed properly in next release.
