i40evf: resend FW request if no response

Sometimes the firmware will not indicate an error but fail to pass a
message between the VF and the PF driver. If this happens, just resend
the request.

This fixes an initialization failure if many VFs are instantiated at the
same time and the VF module is autoloaded.
