I think in the future it will be too easy to forget about the constrained
return value of attach() while modifying some other part of the driver,
and let an external helper return EINVAL. So I'd rather not propagate ret
from outside of viommu_domain_attach() and finalise().

For the same reason I do prefer this solution over EMEDIUMTYPE, because
it's too tempting to use exotic errno when they seem appropriate instead
of boring ENODEV and EINVAL. The alternative would be adding a special
purpose code to linux/errno.h, similarly to EPROBE_DEFER, but that might
be excessive.

Since we can't guarantee that APIs like virtio or ida won't ever return
EINVAL, we should set all return values:

Subject: [PATCH] iommu/virtio: Constrain return value of viommu_attach_dev()

Ensure viommu_attach_dev() only return errno values expected from the
attach_dev() op. In particular, only return EINVAL when we're sure that
the device is incompatible with the domain.
