VFIO group has historically allowed multi-open of the device FD. This was made secure because the "open" was executed via an ioctl to the group FD which is itself only single open. However, no known use of multiple device FDs today. It is kind of a strange thing to do because new device FDs can naturally be created via dup(). When we implement the new device uAPI (only used in cdev path) there is no natural way to allow the device itself from being multi-opened in a secure manner. Without the group FD we cannot prove the security context of the opener. Thus, when moving to the new uAPI we block the ability of opening a device multiple times. Given old group path still allows it we store a vfio_group pointer in struct vfio_device_file to differentiate.
