Many of the mdev drivers use a simple counter for keeping track of the
available instances. Move this code to the core code and store the counter
in the mdev_type. Implement it using correct locking, fixing mdpy.

Drivers provide a get_available() callback to set the number of available
instances for their mtypes which is fixed at registration time. The core
provides a standard sysfs attribute to return the available_instances.

Looks good,

So, according to the documentation, available_instances is
mandatory. This means that drivers either need to provide get_available
or implement their own version of the attribute. I think we want to
update vfio-mediated-device.rst as well?

Otherwise, looks good.

I added this, and something similar for the device_api patch too, thanks
