[PATCH v2 4/4] vfio/pci: enable MSI-X in interrupt restoring on dynamic allocation

[Jing Liu]

During migration restoring, vfio_enable_vectors() is called to restore
enabling MSI-X interrupts for assigned devices. It sets the range from
0 to nr_vectors to kernel to enable MSI-X and the vectors unmasked in
guest. During the MSI-X enabling, all the vectors within the range are
allocated according to the VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl.

When dynamic MSI-X allocation is supported, we only want the guest
unmasked vectors being allocated and enabled. Use vector 0 with an
invalid fd to get MSI-X enabled, after that, all the vectors can be
allocated in need.
