[PATCH V1] nvme-pci: disable SR-IOV VFs on driver unbind

The NVMe PCI driver exports the sriov_configure callback via
pci_sriov_configure_simple(), which allows userspace to enable SR-IOV
VFs through sysfs. However, when the PF driver is unbound, the driver
does not disable SR-IOV, leaving VFs orphaned in the system.
This causes the PCI core to emit a warning in pci_iov_remove():
"driver left SR-IOV enabled after remove"
According to Documentation/PCI/pci-iov-howto.rst, PCI drivers that
support SR-IOV should call pci_disable_sriov() in their remove callback
to properly clean up VFs before the driver is unloaded.
Fix this by disabling SR-IOV in nvme_remove(). If VFs are not assigned
to a guest, disable SR-IOV. If VFs are still assigned, emit a warning
since forcibly disabling would disrupt the guest.
