sriov_vf_device is different and is implemented accordingly to the PCI
spec, 9.3.3.11 VF Device ID (Offset 1Ah)
"This field contains the Device ID that should be presented for every VF
to the SI."
It is one ID for all VFs.

All those checks are in place to ensure that we are not overwriting the
default value, which is 0.

The default is 0, because most SR-IOV doesn't have proper support of
setting VF MSI-X.
Regarding the calculation, it is not correct for the mlx5. We have large
pool of MSI-X vectors, but setting small number of them. This allows us
to increase that number on specific VF without need to decrease on
others "to free" the vectors.
