PCI: Add sysfs sriov_drivers_autoprobe to control VF driver binding

Sometimes it is not desirable to bind SR-IOV VFs to drivers.  This can save
host side resource usage by VF instances that will be assigned to VMs.

Add a new PCI sysfs interface "sriov_drivers_autoprobe" to control that
from the PF.  To modify it, echo 0/n/N (disable probe) or 1/y/Y (enable
probe) to:

  /sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_drivers_autoprobe

Note that this must be done before enabling VFs.  The change will not take
effect if VFs are already enabled.  Simply, one can disable VFs by setting
sriov_numvfs to 0, choose whether to probe or not, and then re-enable the
VFs by restoring sriov_numvfs.

Description:
This file contains the revision field of the the PCI device.
The value comes from device config space. The file is read only.
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../sriov_drivers_autoprobe
Date: April 2017
Contact: Bodong Wang<bodong@mellanox.com>
Description:
This file is associated with the PF of a device that
supports SR-IOV. It determines whether newly-enabled VFs
are immediately bound to a driver. It initially contains
1, which means the kernel automatically binds VFs to a
compatible driver immediately after they are enabled. If
an application writes 0 to the file before enabling VFs,
the kernel will not bind VFs to a driver.
A typical use case is to write 0 to this file, then enable
VFs, then assign the newly-created VFs to virtual machines.
Note that changing this file does not affect already-
enabled VFs. In this scenario, the user must first disable
the VFs, write 0 to sriov_drivers_autoprobe, then re-enable
the VFs.
This is similar to /sys/bus/pci/drivers_autoprobe, but
affects only the VFs associated with a specific PF.
