After commit 4449f079722c ("PCI: Calculate maximum number of buses
required for VFs"),the initial value of NumVFs register was set to
non-zero after sriov_init() and no VFs was enabled in device driver.
this changed the behaviour of kernel exported by lspci and sysfs etc.
so this patch initialize the NumVFs register to zero after the
calculation of max_VF_buses was done.

Tested on stable 4.1 and passed building on stable 4.2-rc7

I think it would be better to put this in virtfn_max_buses(), where we
clobbered numVFs in the first place.  I'd also read the original value and
restore it, e.g.,

     pci_read_config_word(dev, iov->pos + PCI_SRIOV_NUM_VF, &numvfs);
     for (nr_virtfn = 1; nr_virtfn <= iov->total_VFs; nr_virtfn++) {
       ...
     }
     pci_iov_set_numvfs(dev, numvfs);
     return max;

I know sriov_init() sets numVFs to zero before it calls virtfn_max_buses(),
but why rely on that extra knowledge?
Yes, I think also virtfn_max_buses() should restore the register before it returns.
 Will revise it and resend.

 Thanks,
 Ethan
