Do we really need to expose VF specific functions here?
It can be generic(PF/VF) function indexed only through port_id.
(example: as rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_anti_spoof(uint8_t port_id, uint8_t on))
For instance, In Thunderx PMD, We are not exposing a separate port_id
for PF. We only enumerate 0..N VFs as 0..N ethdev port_id

PMD may have more than 64 VFs.
