vfio/migration: Add VFIO migration pre-copy support
Pre-copy support allows the VFIO device data to be transferred while the
VM is running. This helps to accommodate VFIO devices that have a large
amount of data that needs to be transferred, and it can reduce migration
downtime.
Pre-copy support is optional in VFIO migration protocol v2.
Implement pre-copy of VFIO migration protocol v2 and use it for devices
that support it. Full description of it can be found in the following
Linux commit: 4db52602a607 ("vfio: Extend the device migration protocol
with PRE_COPY").
