[PATCH v2 3/3] vfio/pci: Don't probe devices that can't be reset

[Jan Glauber]

If a PCI device supports neither function-level reset, nor slot
or bus reset then refuse to probe it. A line is printed to inform
the user.

Without this change starting qemu with a vfio-pci device can lead to
a kernel panic on some Cavium cn8xxx systems, depending on the used
device.
