vfio: Make the group FD disassociate from the iommu_group
Allow the vfio_group struct to exist with a NULL iommu_group pointer. When
the pointer is NULL the vfio_group users promise not to touch the
iommu_group. This allows a driver to be hot unplugged while userspace is
keeping the group FD open.
Remove all the code waiting for the group FD to close.
This fixes a userspace regression where we learned that virtnodedevd
leaves a group FD open even though the /dev/ node for it has been deleted
and all the drivers for it unplugged.
Fixes: ca5f21b25749 ("vfio: Follow a strict lifetime for struct iommu_group")
