when trigger vf reset, but vf status is not ready, i40e_reset_vf
should not do other cleanup action. The current logic is always return
true. But it can't cover timeout scenary, and the looping in function
i40e_vc_reset_vf is useless. 
Waiting for 120ms will cover most normal scenary. And the caller 
function should try again when timeout or accept that resetting vf 
failed.

Are you sure the queues are stopped/disabled when the VF timeouts?
This could lead to DMA corruption.
It is hard for me to elaborate on the code path because you haven't provided a test case.
Could you please provide reproduction steps along with the description of the issue?

I think this could introduce the bug since you are never calling:
clear_bit(__I40E_VF_DISABLE, pf->state);

So the next time you enter this function the bit is still set and you'll return.

This solution could work if you move the cleanups to the i40e_vc_reset_vf when the timeout happens.
Still I'd like to see a test case and what is not working.
