vgaarb: We can own non-decoded resources
The VGA arbiter does not allow devices to "own" resources that it
doesn't "decode". However, it does allow devices to "lock" resources
that it doesn't decode. This gets us into trouble because locking
the resource goes through the same bridge routing updates regardless
of whether we decode the resource. This means that when a non-decoded
resource is released, the bridge is left with VGA routing enabled and
locking a different device won't clear it.
This happens in the following scenario:
VGA device 01:00.0 (VGA1) is owned by the radeon driver, which
registers a set_vga_decode function which releases legacy VGA decodes.
VGA device 02:00.0 (VGA2) is any VGA device.
VGA1 user locks VGA resources triggering first_use callback of
set_vga_decoded, clearing "decode" and "owns" of legacy resources
on VGA1.
VGA1 user unlocks VGA resources.
VGA2 user locks VGA resources, which skips VGA1 as conflicting as it
does not "own" legacy resources, although VGA routing is still enabled
for the VGA1 bridge. VGA routing is enabled on VGA2 bridge.
VGA2 may or may not receive VGA transactions depending on the bus
priority of VGA1 vs VGA2 bridge.
To resolve this, we need to allow devices to "own" resources that they
do not "decode". This way we can track bus ownership of VGA. When a
device decodes VGA, it only means that we must update the command bits
in cases where the conflicting device is on the same bus.
