RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET is used for PF reset event reporting,
and this patch is to support PF link change. Maybe
RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_LSC should be used here instead.
Or you need to distinguish which control message is coming from PF.

For the readability, it's better to put ixgbevf_intr_disable and ixgbevf_intr_enable
in the same function,  for example, at the beginning and ending of
ixgbevf_dev_interrupt_handler.
