Don't we need to re-bind the vdev with tsm_bind for the continued use of TDI?

Do we really need to check vdev->is_tsm_bound? The tsm_ops lock already
ensures that concurrent TSM operations can't happen, and repeated calls
to bind()/unbind() seem to be handled safely by pci_tsm_bind and pci_tsm_unbind.

If is_tsm_bound is no longer needed, and pci_release_regions /
request_region_exclusive are now handled within pci_tsm_unbind / bind,
do we still need mutex_lock() to guard this path?
