Adds a new vfio_ap_set_new_config function to set a guest's AP
configuration. This is needed in order to set the state of the mdev when
it is migrated from a remote host system during the RESUMING phase.

Key changes:
* Refactored code from the ap_config_store function - handles changes to
   the sysfs ap_config attribute - into a new, non-static function which
   is callable from the ap_config_store function as well as the live guest
   migration code.

This is unrelated cleaup work. Good change :) But it should be a separate patch. Same for several other changes in this patch.

This was made non-static because it is called in patch 10/15; in other words you are right, it doesn't
belong here. This and the other unrelated patches will be done via a new patch which will
precede this one. In fact, all of the changes making static functions non-static in this patch will
be done in the new patch.

This rename is not only unrelated, it is unnecessary. The original name will be
restored.

Unless you plan on reusing these functions elsewhere, I'd argue they're cleaner and easier to read when left in their calling function.

This is a stylistic preference, not a correctness concern; my preference is to keep it.
The primary reason I created these functions
is because I really don't like overly long functions that I have to page through.
vfio_ap_set_new_guest_config() is quite a verbose function, so I shortened it with
these functions. I don't think the code is any easier to read or understand if
left in-line. In my opinion, since the function names are self-documenting, it
makes the code more understandable at the point they are called. Looking
at bitmap_andnot and trying to figure out what that does is not cleaner
and clearer in my opinion. Of course, one could argue a doc block prior to
those three lines would do the same thing, but I think if one is reading the
code, they can always go to these functions to see how the sausage is made.
I'm sorry for the long dissertation, but I thought I'd state my reasoning for
keeping them.

You seem to be keeping shadow_apcb in lockstep with matrix_mdev->matrix. But we still have the original code below that does the official shadow_apcb update after validation has been performed. Why did you decide to change how/when shadow_apcb was being updated? And if this was intentional, why are we still performing a separate update of shadow_apcb at the end?

This is a valid point, there is no need for m_old_shadow
