Bitfield operations are not atomic, they use a read-modify-write
pattern, therefore we should be careful not to pack bitfields that
can be concurrently updated into the same storage unit.
This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified
pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user
action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex.
reset) use dedicated storage units.
Note mlx5_vhca_page_tracker.status is relocated to fill the alignment
hole this split exposes.
Bitfield justifications:
migrate_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe
chunk_mode: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe
mig_state_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe
Dedicated storage units:
mdev_detach: written in the VF attach/detach event notifier
mlx5fv_vf_event() at runtime
log_active: written in mlx5vf_start_page_tracker()/
mlx5vf_stop_page_tracker() during runtime dirty tracking
deferred_reset: written in mlx5vf_state_mutex_unlock()/
mlx5vf_pci_aer_reset_done() during runtime reset handling
is_err: set by tracker error handling and dirty-log polling at runtime
object_changed: set by tracker event handling and cleared by dirty-log
polling at runtime
