i40e_pf_config_vf_rxq_number() discarded the rte_kvargs_process() return value and unconditionally returned success, and its own return value was then discarded by i40e_pf_parameter_init(). A malformed or out of range queue-num-per-vf value was therefore silently ignored, leaving the default in place with no indication to the user.
Every other rte_kvargs_process() call site in this driver already checks its return value. Do the same here, so that a bad value fails probe rather than being masked. rte_kvargs_process() stops at the first failing pair, which preserves the "first invalid or last valid one is used" behaviour already documented in the warning above the call.
