The adapter->vfs_lock currently protects critical sections shared between
igb_disable_sriov() and igb_msg_task(). Since igb_msg_task() — which is
invoked solely by the igb_msix_other() ISR—only proceeds when
adapter->vfs_allocated_count > 0, we can reduce the lock scope further.

By moving the assignment adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 0 to the start of the
cleanup code in igb_disable_sriov(), we can restrict the spinlock protection
solely to this assignment. This change removes kfree() calls from within the
locked section, simplifying lock management.

Once kfree() is outside the vfs_lock scope, it becomes possible to safely
convert vfs_lock to a raw_spin_lock.
