VF BARs are read-only zeroes according to SRIOV spec, the normal way(writing BARs) of allocating resources wouldn't be applied to VFs. The VFs' resources would be allocated when we enable SR-IOV capability. So we should not try to reassign alignment after we enable VFs. It's meaningless and will release the allocated resources which leads to a bug.
