It will be better to continue but not return error.

For vsi->veb, the VEB associated with uplink vsi, but as I know, floating_veb
Has no uplink vsis. Can I understand the floating_veb in vsi indicates floating veb
Of the device/pf, and only main vsi will have it? If so, why not put in in the pf structure?
