vfio/pci: Fix racy bitfields and tighten struct layout
Bitfield operations are not atomic, they use a read-modify-write
pattern, therefore we should be careful not to pack bitfields that
can be concurrently updated into the same storage unit.
This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified
pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user
action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex.
reset) use dedicated storage units.
Note that the virq_disabled and bardirty flags are relocated to fill
an existing hole in the structure.
Bitfield justifications:
has_dyn_msix: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
pci_2_3: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
reset_works: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
extended_caps: written only in vfio_cap_len() under vfio_config_init()
has_vga: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
nointx: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
needs_pm_restore: written only in vfio_pci_probe_power_state()
disable_idle_d3: written only at .init in vfio_pci_core_init_dev()
Dedicated storage units:
virq_disabled: written by guest INTx command writes in
vfio_basic_config_write() while the device is open
bardirty: written by guest BAR writes in vfio_basic_config_write()
while the device is open
pm_intx_masked: written in the runtime-PM suspend path.
pm_runtime_engaged: written by low-power feature entry/exit paths
needs_reset: set in vfio_pci_core_disable() and cleared for devices in
the set by vfio_pci_dev_set_try_reset()
sriov_active: written by vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure() via sysfs
sriov_numvfs while bound.
