While I realise we are now at v6 of this patchset, and the name was
suggested on v4, seeing it implemented I'm afraid I think
rte_pci_pasid_ena_dis is not a great name! I also agree that the pasid_set
name was a bit misleading too, leaving us with a naming problem.
I have two suggestions:

* if we want to keep one function - "rte_pci_pasid_set_state", which makes
  it clear we are not setting the pasid, but the pasid state.
* separate this explicitly into rte_pci_pasid_enable() and
  rte_pci_pasid_disable() functions. This is the cleanest solution but it
  doesn't align with some of the other functions in pci lib which set the
  state.

Jerin, any further thoughts? and sorry for late feedback.
