Allow the vfio_device file to be in a state where the device FD is
opened but the device cannot be used by userspace (i.e. its .open_device()
hasn't been called). This inbetween state is not used when the device
FD is spawned from the group FD, however when we create the device FD
directly by opening a cdev it will be opened in the blocked state.
The reason for the inbetween state is that userspace only gets a FD but
doesn't gain access permission until binding the FD to an iommufd. So in
the blocked state, only the bind operation is allowed. Completing bind
will allow user to further access the device.
This is implemented by adding a flag in struct vfio_device_file to mark
the blocked state and using a simple smp_load_acquire() to obtain the
flag value and serialize all the device setup with the thread accessing
this device.
Following this lockless scheme, it can safely handle the device FD
unbound->bound but it cannot handle bound->unbound. To allow this we'd
need to add a lock on all the vfio ioctls which seems costly. So once
device FD is bound, it remains bound until the FD is closed.
