[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 13/15] vfio/ccw: Use the new device life cycle helpers

ccw is the only exception which cannot use vfio_alloc_device() because
its private device structure is designed to serve both mdev and parent.
Life cycle of the parent is managed by css_driver so vfio_ccw_private
must be allocated/freed in css_driver probe/remove path instead of
conforming to vfio core life cycle for mdev.

Given that use a wait/completion scheme so the mdev remove path waits
after vfio_put_device() until receiving a completion notification from
@release. The completion indicates that all active references on
vfio_device have been released.

After that point although free of vfio_ccw_private is delayed to
css_driver it's at least guaranteed to have no parallel reference on
released vfio device part from other code paths.

memset() in @probe is removed. vfio_device is either alreary cleared
when probed for the first time or cleared in @release from last probe.

The right fix is to introduce separate structures for mdev and parent,
but this won't happen in short term per prior discussions.

Remove vfio_init/uninit_group_dev() as no user now.
