[PATCH v5 05/20] vfio/pci: Register a file handler with Live Update Orchestrator

[Vipin Sharma <vipinsh@google.com>]

Register a live update file handler for vfio-pci device files. Add stub
implementations of all required callbacks so that registration does not
fail (i.e. to avoid breaking git-bisect). Register it with both live
update framework and PCI subsystem.

This file handler will be extended in subsequent commits to enable a
device bound to vfio-pci to run without interruption while the host is
going through a kexec Live Update.

Put this support behind a new Kconfig VFIO_PCI_LIVEUPDATE that is marked
experimental and default-disabled until more of the device preservation
support has landed in the kernel.
