A recent commit to refactor the driver and remove the hw_disabled_flags
field accidentally introduced two regressions. First, we overwrote
pf->flags which removed various key flags including the MSI-X settings.

Additionally, it was intended that we have now two flags,
HW_ATR_EVICT_CAPABLe and HW_ATR_EVICT_ENABLED, but this was not done,
and we accidentally were mis-using HW_ATR_EVICT_CAPABLE everywhere.

This patch adds the missing piece, HW_ATR_EVICT_ENABLED, and safely
updates pf->flags instead of overwriting it.

Without this patch we will have many problems including disabling MSI-X
support, and we'll attempt to use HW ATR eviction on devices which do
not support it.
