[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net-next 2/2] i40e: fix setting debug parameter early

pf->msg_enable is a bitmask, therefore assigning the value of the
"debug" parameter is wrong. It is initialized again later in
i40e_sw_init() so it didn't cause any problem, except that we missed
early debug messages. Moved the initialization and assigned
pf->hw.debug_mask the bitmask as that's what the driver actually uses
in i40e_debug(). Otherwise the debug parameter is just a noop.

Fixes: 5b5faa4 ("i40e: enable debug earlier")
