[PATCH v3 2/4] vfio/pci: enable vector on dynamic MSI-X allocation

[Jing Liu <jing2.liu@intel.com>]

The vector_use callback is used to enable vector that is unmasked in
guest. The kernel used to only support static MSI-X allocation. When
allocating a new interrupt using "static MSI-X allocation" kernels,
QEMU first disables all previously allocated vectors and then
re-allocates all including the new one. The nr_vectors of VFIOPCIDevice
indicates that all vectors from 0 to nr_vectors are allocated (and may
be enabled), which is used to loop all the possibly used vectors when
e.g., disabling MSI-X interrupts.

Extend the vector_use function to support dynamic MSI-X allocation when
host supports the capability. QEMU therefore can individually allocate
and enable a new interrupt without affecting others or causing interrupts
lost during runtime.

Utilize nr_vectors to calculate the upper bound of enabled vectors in
dynamic MSI-X allocation mode since looping all msix_entries_nr is not
efficient and unnecessary.

Changes since v2:
- Use a bool type to test (vdev->nr_vectors < nr + 1). (Alex)
- Revise the comments. (Alex)
- Apply Alex's Reviewed-by.

Changes since v1:
- Revise Qemu to QEMU.

Changes since RFC v1:
- Test vdev->msix->noresize to identify the allocation mode. (Alex)
- Move defer_kvm_irq_routing test out and update nr_vectors in a
  common place before vfio_enable_vectors(). (Alex)
- Revise the comments. (Alex)
