[PATCH] vfio-mdev: support mediated device creation in kernel

[Yonghyun Hwang]

To enable a mediated device, a device driver registers its device to VFIO
MDev framework. Once the mediated device gets enabled, UUID gets fed onto
the sysfs attribute, "create", to create the mediated device. This
additional step happens after boot-up gets complete. If the driver knows
how many mediated devices need to be created during probing time, the
additional step becomes cumbersome. This commit implements a new function
to allow the driver to create a mediated device in kernel.
