When we open a device file descriptor, we currently have the
following:
vfio_group_get_device_fd()
mutex_lock(&group->device_lock);
open()
...
if (ret)
release()
If we hit that error case, we call the backend driver release path,
which for vfio-pci looks like this:
vfio_pci_release()
vfio_pci_disable()
vfio_pci_try_bus_reset()
vfio_pci_get_devs()
vfio_device_get_from_dev()
vfio_group_get_device()
mutex_lock(&group->device_lock);
Whoops, we've stumbled back onto group.device_lock and created a
deadlock. There's a low likelihood of ever seeing this play out, but
obviously it needs to be fixed. To do that we can use a reference to
the vfio_device for vfio_group_get_device_fd() rather than holding the
lock. There was a loop in this function, theoretically allowing
multiple devices with the same name, but in practice we don't expect
such a thing to happen and the code is already aborting from the loop
with break on any sort of error rather than continuing and only
parsing the first match anyway, so the loop was effectively unused
already.
