Jason Gunthorpe 3dd59a7dcb 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: ca5f21b257 ("vfio: Follow a strict lifetime for struct iommu_group")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
