Subject: [PATCH v2 10/22] vfio/pci: Skip reset of preserved device after Live Update

From: Vipin Sharma <vipinsh@...gle.com>

Do not reset the device when a Live Update preserved vfio-pci device is
retrieved and first enabled. vfio_pci_liveupdate_freeze() guarantees the
device is reset prior to Live Update, so there's no reason to reset it
again after Live Update.

Since VFIO normally uses the initial reset to detect if the device
supports function resets, pass that from the previous kernel via
struct vfio_pci_core_dev_ser.
