The sriov_configure callback should return negative value for error, and
return num_vfs if success.

See the Documentation/PCI/pci-iov-howto.rst

also in drivers/pci/iov.c:

  static ssize_t sriov_numvfs_store(struct device *dev, ...)
  {
	...

        ret = pdev->driver->sriov_configure(pdev, num_vfs);
        if (ret < 0) 
                goto exit;

        if (ret != num_vfs)
                pci_warn(pdev, "%d VFs requested; only %d enabled\n",
                         num_vfs, ret);

	...
  }
