In migration resume phase, all unmasked msix vectors need to be
setup when load the VF state. However, the setup operation would
take longer if the VM has more VFs and each VF has more unmasked
vectors.

The hot spot is kvm_irqchip_commit_routes, it'll scan and update
all irqfds that already assigned each invocation, so more vectors
means need more time to process them.

vfio_pci_load_config
  vfio_msix_enable
    msix_set_vector_notifiers
      for (vector = 0; vector < dev->msix_entries_nr; vector++) {
        vfio_msix_vector_do_use
          vfio_add_kvm_msi_virq
            kvm_irqchip_commit_routes <-- expensive
      }

We can reduce the cost by only commit once outside the loop. The
routes is cached in kvm_state, we commit them first and then bind
irqfd for each vector.

The test VM has 128 vcpus and 8 VF (each one has 65 vectors),
we measure the cost of the vfio_msix_enable for each VF, and
we can see 90+% costs can be reduce.

[*] Count of irqfds
How many irqfds that already assigned and need to process in this
round.

The optimition can be applied to msi type too.
