[Bug 1948705] Re: vGPU instance is not reattached to guest on resume

Reattach mdevs to guest on resume
When suspending a VM in OpenStack, Nova detaches all the mediated
devices from the guest machine, but does not reattach them on the resume
operation. This patch makes Nova reattach the mdevs that were detached
when the guest was suspended.
This behavior is due to libvirt not supporting the hot-unplug of
mediated devices at the time the feature was being developed. The
limitation has been lifted since then, and now we have to amend the
resume function so it will reattach the mediated devices that were
detached on suspension.

Title:
vGPU instance is not reattached to guest on resume
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
Fix Released
Bug description:
Description
===========
When suspending a guest with a vGPU instance attached to it, Nova asks libvirt to detach that device, since the guest can't be suspended otherwise. When resuming that guest, however, it comes back without the vGPU instance previously attached to it.
This happens because, at the time the feature was developed, libvirt
did not support hot unplugging mediated devices [1]. That limitation
has been lifted since then, and the resume operation needs to be
modified in order to reattach the mediated device (vGPU instance) that
was detached on suspend.

Steps to reproduce
==================
1 - Set up the environment in order to provide vGPU capabilities to Nova;
2 - Spawn an instance using a flavor that asks for a vGPU;
3 - Suspend the instance;
4 - Resume the instance;
Expected result
===============
After resuming the instance, it should still have a vGPU instance attached.
Actual result
=============
The instance comes back without a vGPU attached.
Environment
===========
- Tested on StarlingX OpenStack - Ussuri; master code still does not provide a fix.
- Libvirt v4.7.0 + KVM.
