vfio/migration: Add debugfs to live migration driver

There are multiple devices, software and operational steps involved
in the process of live migration. An error occurred on any node may
cause the live migration operation to fail.
This complex process makes it very difficult to locate and analyze
the cause when the function fails.

In order to quickly locate the cause of the problem when the
live migration fails, I added a set of debugfs to the vfio
live migration driver.

+----------------+ +----------------+

The entire debugfs directory will be based on the definition of
the CONFIG_DEBUG_FS macro. If this macro is not enabled, the
interfaces in vfio.h will be empty definitions, and the creation
and initialization of the debugfs directory will not be executed.

vfio

+---<dev_name1>
| +---migration
| +--state
|
+---<dev_name2>
+---migration
+--state

debugfs will create a public root directory "vfio" file.
then create a dev_name() file for each live migration device.
First, create a unified state acquisition file of "migration"
in this device directory.
Then, create a public live migration state lookup file "state".
