[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] bus/pci: fix VF bus error for memory access

To fix CVE-2020-12888, the linux vfio-pci module will invalidate mmaps
and block MMIO access on disabled memory, it will send a SIGBUS to the
application:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=abafbc551fddede3e0a08dee1dcde08fc0eb8476

When the application opens the vfio PCI device, the vfio-pci module will
enable the memory bus command through PCI read/write access. According
to the PCIe specification, for VF, the 'Memory Space Enable' is always
zero:

             Table 9-13 Command Register Changes

Bit Location | PF and VF Register Differences | PF         | VF
             | From Base                      | Attributes | Attributes
-------------+--------------------------------+------------+-----------
             | Memory Space Enable - Does not |            |
             | apply to VFs. Must be hardwired|  Base      |  0b
     1       | to 0b for VFs. VF Memory Space |            |
             | is controlled by the VF MSE bit|            |
             | in the VF Control register.    |            |
-------------+--------------------------------+------------+-----------

Then the vfio-pci module initializes its own virtual PCI config space
data ('vconfig') by reading the VF's physical PCI config space, so the
'Memory Space Enable' bit in vconfig will also have 0b value. This will
make the vfio-pci find that the BAR memory is disabled, and the SIGBUS
will be triggerred if access these BARs.

So it needs to enable PCI bus memory command explicitly to avoid access
on disabled memory, which will call vfio-pci virtual PCI read/write API
to set the 'Memory Space Enable' in vconfig space to 1b.
