Libvirt shouldn't forbid the operation as unsupported. In fact, from VFIO point
of view, mdevs have supported hot plug since the beginning. Then it's up to the
3rd party vendor driver whether it can cope with this feature reliably or not.

Since v1 [1]:
- dropped the original patch 1 as that adjustment can be done in a bigger scale
across multiple modules as part of a 'bite-sized' task
- reworded commit message for patches 2 and 3
- fixed the error path in patch 1 where I mistakenly tried to re-attach all host
devices for a domain if the hotplug of an mdev failed
