  add bus mastering control to VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE IOCTL. The VFIO user
can use this feature to enable or disable the Bus Mastering of a
device bound to VFIO.

Changes v5->v6:
- Updated description of VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_BUS_MASTER IOCTL
- Used 0 for clear and 1 for set bus master operation

Changes in v5:
- This patch is newly added which proposes a new flag
  VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_BUS_MASTER in VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE IOCTL.
