Subject: [PATCH] PCI/ATS:  Allow to enable ATS on VFs even if it is not enabled on PF

As per PCIe specification(section 10.5), If a VF implements an
ATS capability, its associated PF must implement an ATS capability.
The ATS Capabilities in VFs and their associated PFs are permitted to
be enabled independently.
Also, it states that the Smallest Translation Unit (STU) for VFs must be
hardwired to Zero and the associated PF's value applies to VFs STU.

The current code allows to enable ATS on VFs only if it is already
enabled on associated PF, which is not necessary as per the specification.

It is only required to have valid STU programmed on PF to enable
ATS on VFs. Adding code to write the first VFs STU to a PF's STU
when PFs ATS is not enabled.
