From: Peng Zhang <peng1x.zhang at intel.com>

The origin design is if error happen during the step 3 of given situation, 
it will return error directly without retry. While in current patch, it 
will retry at every interval time during certain time. If retry succeed, 
rule can be continuously created.

The given situation as following steps show:
step 1. Kernel PF and DPDK DCF are ready at the beginning.
step 2. A VF reset happen, kernel send an event to DCF and set STATE
to pause.
step 3. Before DCF receive the event, it is possible a rule creation is 
ongoing and virtual channel command from DCF to kernel PF is executing.
step 4. Then result of command is failure, it will lead to error return 
to DCF. Error code will be set as EINVAL, not EAGAIN.
