When VSI set up failed in i40e_probe() as part of PF switch set up
driver was trying to free misc IRQ vectors in
i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme and produced a kernel Oops:

   Trying to free already-free IRQ 266

The problem is that at that point misc IRQ vectors
were not allocated yet and we get a call trace
that driver is trying to free already free IRQ vectors.

Add a check in i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme for __I40E_MISC_IRQ_REQUESTED
PF state before calling i40e_free_misc_vector. This state is set only if
misc IRQ vectors were properly initialized.

Fixes: c17401a1dd21 ("i40e: use separate state bit for miscellaneous IRQ setup")

 v3:moved check for __I40E_MISC_IRQ_REQUESTED from i40e_free_misc_vector to
 i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme so i40e_free_misc_vector is not called when
 __I40E_MISC_IRQ_REQUESTED pf state is not set. Added kernel oops and
 reported-by to the commit message as suggested by PJ.
 v2: Fix commmit title typo
