vfio: Add and use device request op for vfio bus drivers
When a request is made to unbind a device from a vfio bus driver, we need to wait for the device to become unused, ie. for userspace to release the device. However, we have a long standing TODO in the code to do something proactive to make that happen. To enable this, we add a request callback on the vfio bus driver struct, which is intended to signal the user through the vfio device interface to release the device. Instead of passively waiting for the device to become unused, we can now pester the user to give it up. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
