Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/xe: Reorganize the init to decouple migration from reset

</TASK>
This is caused by the fact that some of the xe_vfio_pci_core_device
members needed for handling reset are only initialized as part of
migration init.
Fix the problem by reorganizing the code to decouple VF init from
migration init.
