I think it does not need. This is the probe process. PF and VF are all not ready to work,
so pf->vf_configs[i].link_event_work does not scheduled. And pf->vf_configs memory resource will
be freed by devm subsystem if probe failed. There are not memory leak and other problems.

@Sunil Goutham, Please help to confirm.

Thanks.
