[ Upstream commit e73638e55f861758d49f14d7bb5dba3035981cd7 ]

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.

[ dropped the `has_dyn_msix:1` bitfield line (absent in this tree) while keeping the rest of the struct layout change ]
