> 
> The main loop in __ice_clean_ctrlq first checks if a VF might be malicious
> before calling ice_vc_process_vf_msg(). This results in duplicate code in both
> functions to obtain a reference to the VF, and exports the
> ice_is_malicious_vf() from ice_virtchnl.c unnecessarily.
> 
> Refactor ice_is_malicious_vf() to be a static function that takes a pointer to
> the VF. Call this in ice_vc_process_vf_msg() just after we obtain a reference
> to the VF by calling ice_get_vf_by_id.
> 
> Pass the mailbox data from the __ice_clean_ctrlq function into
> ice_vc_process_vf_msg() instead of calling ice_is_malicious_vf().
> 
> This reduces the number of exported functions and avoids the need to
> obtain the VF reference twice for every mailbox message.
> 
> Note that the state check for ICE_VF_STATE_DIS is kept in
> ice_is_malicious_vf() and we call this before checking that state in
> ice_vc_process_vf_msg. This is intentional, as we stop responding to VF
> messages from a VF once we detect that it may be overflowing the mailbox.
> This ensures that we continue to silently ignore the message as before
> without responding via ice_vc_send_msg_to_vf().
