Probable fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1056360
commit f094aaac changed qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices() such that it
may modify the backend (vfio vs. legacy kvm) setting in the
virHostdevDef. However, qemuDomainAttachHostPciDevice() (used by
hotplug) copies the backend setting into a local *before* calling
qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices(), and then later makes a decision based
on that pre-change value.
The result is that, if the backend had been set to default (i.e. not
specified in the config) and was later updated to VFIO by
qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices(), the qemu process' MacMemLock is not
increased (as is required for VFIO device assignment).
This patch delays making the local copy of backend until after its
potential modification.
