OK

The PCI reset this code is tring to do effects a set of PCI devices,
due to how the HW works.

Along with the vfio_pci_for_each_slot_or_bus() this is computing a set
wise 'is superset' between the list of pci_dev's the reset will affect
(the reset group) and the list of vfio_devices that we have locking
control over to sequence the reset (the dev_set).

If every PCI device we will reset is under the dev_set then we
directly know it is safe to trigger the reset. If any PCI device is
not in this dev_set then we cannot use the reset as we can't know what
will happen to the device that we don't control.

Let's use a different word than bound? vfio_pci_check_device_in_set()?

Sure, it can go in a function

It is not "need to be VFIO devices" it is "need to be in our
dev_set". Have the PCI dev bound to, say, a mdev VFIO device isn't
good enough.
