[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] vfio: fix deadlock between group lock and kvm lock

After 51cdc8bc120e, we have another deadlock scenario between the
kvm->lock and the vfio group_lock with two different codepaths acquiring
the locks in different order. Specifically in vfio_open_device, vfio
holds the vfio group_lock when issuing device->ops->open_device but some
drivers (like vfio-ap) need to acquire kvm->lock during their open_device
routine; Meanwhile, kvm_vfio_release will acquire the kvm->lock first
before calling vfio_file_set_kvm which will acquire the vfio group_lock.
To resolve this, let's remove the need for the vfio group_lock from the
kvm_vfio_release codepath. This is done by introducing a new spinlock to
protect modifications to the vfio group kvm pointer, and acquiring a kvm
ref from within vfio while holding this spinlock, with the reference held
until the last close for the device in question.
Fixes: 51cdc8bc120e ("kvm/vfio: Fix potential deadlock on vfio group_lock")

Changes from v1:
* use spin_lock instead of spin_lock_irqsave (Jason)
* clear device->kvm_put as part of vfio_kvm_put_kvm (Yi)
* Re-arrange code to avoid referencing the group contents from within
vfio_main (Kevin) which meant moving most of the code in this patch
to group.c along with getting/dropping of the dev_set lock
