xen/pciback: Restore configuration space when detaching from a guest.
The commit "xen/pciback: Don't deadlock when unbinding." was using the version of pci_reset_function which would lock the device lock. That is no good as we can dead-lock. As such we swapped to using the lock-less version and requiring that the callers of 'pcistub_put_pci_dev' take the device lock. And as such this bug got exposed. Using the lock-less version is OK, except that we tried to use 'pci_restore_state' after the lock-less version of __pci_reset_function_locked - which won't work as 'state_saved' is set to false. Said 'state_saved' is a toggle boolean that is to be used by the sequence of a) pci_save_state/pci_restore_state or b) pci_load_and_free_saved_state/pci_restore_state. We don't want to use a) as the guest might have messed up the PCI configuration space and we want it to revert to the state when the PCI device was binded to us. Therefore we pick b) to restore the configuration space. We restore from our 'golden' version of PCI configuration space, when an: - Device is unbinded from pciback - Device is detached from a guest.
