What would you think of removing the STU update feature from
pci_enable_ats() so it always fails if pci_ats_stu_configure() has not
been called, even when called on the PF, e.g.,

  if (ps != pci_physfn(dev)->ats_stu)
    return -EINVAL;

  pci_read_config_word(dev, dev->ats_cap + PCI_ATS_CTRL, &ctrl);
  ctrl |= PCI_ATS_CTRL_ENABLE;
  pci_write_config_word(dev, dev->ats_cap + PCI_ATS_CTRL, ctrl);

Would probably also have to set "dev->ats_stu = 0" in
pci_disable_ats() to allow the possibility of calling
pci_ats_stu_configure() again.

Enabling or disabling ATS in a PF or VF has no effect on other
functions.

But changing STU while a VF has ATS enabled would definitely break any
user of that VF, so if it's practical to verify that no VFs have ATS
enabled, I think we should.
