vfio: New external user group/file match
commit 5d6dee80 upstream. At the point where the kvm-vfio pseudo device wants to release its vfio group reference, we can't always acquire a new reference to make that happen. The group can be in a state where we wouldn't allow a new reference to be added. This new helper function allows a caller to match a file to a group to facilitate this. Given a file and group, report if they match. Thus the caller needs to already have a group reference to match to the file. This allows the deletion of a group without acquiring a new reference.
