[PATCH v6 2/4] PCI: Ignore enforced alignment to VF BARs

VF BARs are read-only zeroes according to SRIOV spec,
the normal way(writing BARs) of allocating resources wouldn't
be applied to VFs. The VFs' resources would be allocated
when we enable SR-IOV capability. So we should not try to
reassign alignment after we enable VFs. It's meaningless
and will release the allocated resources which leads to a bug.
