Subject: [PATCH 2/2] vfio/pci: Remove bardirty from vfio_pci_device

It isn't clear what purpose the @bardirty serves. It might be used to avoid
the unnecessary vfio_bar_fixup() invoking on a user-space BAR read, which
is not required when bardirty is unset.

The variable was introduced in commit 89e1f7d4c66d ("vfio: Add PCI device
driver") but never actually used, so it shouldn't be that important. Remove
it.
