Implements two callbacks related to the current state of a vfio-ap device:
* The callback that sets a new migration state of a vfio-ap device during
   live migration of guests with pass-through access to AP devices. This
   callback is mandatory for VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_MIGRATION support.

   The function pointer for this callback is specified via the
   'migration_set_state' field of the 'vfio_migration_ops' structure
   which is stored with the VFIO device when the 'vfio_device'
   structure representing the mediated device is initialized.

* The callback that returns the current vfio device migration state during
   live migration of guests with pass-through access to AP devices.

   The function pointer for this callback is specified via the
   'migration_get_state' field of the 'vfio_migration_ops' structure
   which is stored with the VFIO device when the 'vfio_device'
   structure representing the mediated device is initialized.

The container_of() pointer swizzle is done under lock in vfio_ap_get_state, but not here. Why? They should probably be handled consistently.

The vdev pointer is stable. It is passed in as a function parameter from the
VFIO core and is guaranteed valid for the callback duration. On the other
hand, in the interest of consistency - as you explained - I'll move it after
taking the mdevs_lock.

Why bother with temp variable? You could just access matrix_mdev->mig_data directly.

No other reason than for readability and shortening lines of code that access it multiple
times. I see no good reason to remove it.

Comment is unrelated to the rest of the patch.

This belongs in patch 03/15. I'll move it.
