In order to support PRE_COPY, mlx5 driver is transferring multiple
states (images) of the device. e.g.: the source VF can save and transfer
multiple states, and the target VF will load them by that order.
The device is saving three kinds of states:
1) Initial state - when the device moves to PRE_COPY state.
2) Middle state - during PRE_COPY phase via VFIO_MIG_GET_PRECOPY_INFO.
There can be multiple states of this type.
3) Final state - when the device moves to STOP_COPY state.
After moving to PRE_COPY state, user is holding the saving migf FD and
can use it. For example: user can start transferring data via read()
callback. Also, user can switch from PRE_COPY to STOP_COPY whenever he
sees it fits. This will invoke saving of final state.
This means that mlx5 VFIO device can be switched to STOP_COPY without
transferring any data in PRE_COPY state. Therefore, when the device
moves to STOP_COPY, mlx5 will store the final state on a dedicated queue
entry on the list.
