i40e: tolerate lost interrupts

Browse source

If the AQ interrupt gets lost for some reason, VF communications will
stall as the VFs have no way of reaching the PF, which is essentially
deaf. The VFs end up waiting forever for a reply that will never come.

To alleviate this condition, go ahead and check the ARQ every time we
run the service task. Remove the check for a pending event, and get rid
of a chatty error message that is now meaningless.
