Add a flag to the DeviceState, when a device is engaged in PIO/MMIO/DMA.
This flag is set/checked prior to calling a device's MemoryRegion
handlers, and set when device code initiates DMA. The purpose of this
flag is to prevent two types of DMA-based reentrancy issues:
1.) mmio -> dma -> mmio case
2.) bh -> dma write -> mmio case
These issues have led to problems such as stack-exhaustion and
use-after-frees.
Summary of the problem from Peter Maydell:

If we issue this warn_report on every invalid memory access, is this
going to become a denial of service by flooding logs, or is the
return MEMTX_ACCESS_ERROR, sufficient to ensure this is only printed
*once* in the lifetime of the QEMU process ?
