The commit 6ad359ec29 "(vfio/spapr: Move prereg_listener into spapr container)" began to use the newly introduced VFIOSpaprContainer structure.
After several refactors, today the container_of(container, VFIOSpaprContainer, ABC) is used when VFIOSpaprContainer is actually not allocated. On PPC64 systems, this dereference is leading to corruption showing up as glibc malloc assertion during guest start when using vfio. Patch adds the missing allocation while also making the structure movement to vfio common header file.
