[PATCH v4 3/3] vfio: Avoid disabling and enabling vectors repeatedly in VFIO migration

[Shenming Lu <lushenming@huawei.com>]

In VFIO migration resume phase and some guest startups, there are
already unmasked vectors in the vector table when calling
vfio_msix_enable(). So in order to avoid inefficiently disabling
and enabling vectors repeatedly, let's allocate all needed vectors
first and then enable these unmasked vectors one by one without
disabling.
