i40evf: Drop i40evf_fire_sw_int as it is prone to races
Having the interrupts firing while we are polling causes extra overhead and
isn't needed for most systems out there. If an interrupt is lost us
experiencing a 2s latency spike before recovering is still not acceptable
and masks the issue. We are better off just identifying systems that lose
interrupts and instead enable workarounds for those systems.
To that end I am dropping the code that was strobing the interrupts as
there is a narrow window where having them enabled can actually cause
race issues anyway where a few stray packets might get misses if the
interrupt is re-enabled and fires before we call napi_complete.
