vfio: Remove unnecessary uses of vfio_container.group_lock 

commit 7f56c30b upstream.

The original intent of vfio_container.group_lock is to protect
vfio_container.group_list, however over time it's become a crutch to
prevent changes in container composition any time we call into the
iommu driver backend.  This introduces problems when we start to have
more complex interactions, for example when a user's DMA unmap request
triggers a notification to an mdev vendor driver, who responds by
attempting to unpin mappings within that request, re-entering the
iommu backend.  We incorrectly assume that the use of read-locks here
allow for this nested locking behavior, but a poorly timed write-lock
could in fact trigger a deadlock.

The current use of group_lock seems to fall into the trap of locking
code, not data.  Correct that by removing uses of group_lock that are
not directly related to group_list.  Note that the vfio type1 iommu
backend has its own mutex, vfio_iommu.lock, which it uses to protect
itself for each of these interfaces anyway.  The group_lock appears to
be a redundancy for these interfaces and type1 even goes so far as to
release its mutex to allow for exactly the re-entrant code path above.
