"ip link" commands allow to define VF rates independently.
That means, first "rate" (max BW) can be set and in a second
command "min" (min BW) (check LP bug description).
However Pyroute2 command to set the VF rates requires to set both.
If one value is missing ("min_tx_rate", "max_tx_rate"), the library
sets this value to 0; in other words, the value is deleted.
The Pyroute2 structures are built depending on the parameter names.
In this case, {'vf': {'rate': ...}} will create a "vf_rate" [1]
nla structure, that requires "min_tx_rate" and "max_tx_rate".
This is part of the full structure passed to the "iproute" library
[2].
This is an example of code that only sets the "max_tx_rate" for
the 15th VF of "enp196s0f0":
$ from neutron.plugins.ml2.drivers.mech_sriov.agent import pci_lib
pci = pci_lib.PciDeviceIPWrapper("enp196s0f0")
pci.set_vf_rate(15, {'max_tx_rate': 10})
The "msg" [3] (structure passed to "iproute" library) is this:
https://paste.opendev.org/show/b2FZBOebGOCHMrYhPr6X/. The
"min_tx_rate" is set to the default value 0.
This patch reads first the existing rates ("min_tx_rate",
"max_tx_rate") and populates the command parameters accordingly.
