iommu_group_get_for_dev() expects that the IOMMU driver's device_group
callback return a group with a reference held for the given device.
Whilst allocating a new group is fine, and pci_device_group() correctly
handles reusing an existing group, there is no general means for IOMMU
drivers doing their own group lookup to take additional references on an
existing group pointer without having to also store device pointers or
resort to elaborate trickery.
Add an IOMMU-driver-specific function to fill the hole.

When arm_smmu_device_group() finds an existing group due to Stream ID
aliasing, it should be taking an additional reference on that group.

This probably either wants sticking in a header or exporting to modules.
That said, why do we need the underscores and the comment about internal
group management? That's pretty much already the case for iommu_group_get.
Of course, removing the underscores gives you a naming conflict, but we
could just call it something like "iommu_group_get_ref".

The definition of struct iommu_group is private to iommu.c, so any
touching of the members has to be in here. The comment is to contrast
with iommu_group_get()'s "This function is called by iommu drivers and
users". This one is explicitly not for users of the API (DMA mapping,
VFIO, etc.), as they really have no business messing with refcounts
directly, and should always be operating in the context of a device;
it's only for the benefit of anyone *implementing* the API. And since
IOMMU drivers aren't modular (yet... ;)) there's no cause for an export.

Ideally, this would be the iommu_group_get() to precisely match
iommu_group_put(), and the existing function would renamed something
like iommu_dev_group_get() (or perhaps even all external uses converted
over to iommu_group_get_for_dev()), but that would be an awful lot of
churn for little obvious benefit. Similarly, I nearly added the below
hunk, but it didn't seem worth the bother.

But they can already do it if they want to, using the horrible group id
hack that's been doing the rounds. The IOMMU API is already low-level
enough, so I don't think trying to split it up like this is helpful.
Hell, people can even just dip in and bump the kobject directly, or grab a
handle to a device in the group already and call iommu_group_get.
That said, it doesn't look like iommu_group_get_by_id actually has any
callers in tree, so maybe we could kill it.

I'd still rather the new function was renamed. We already have the group,
so calling a weird underscore version of iommu_group_get is really
counter-intuitive.
Joerg -- do you have a preference?

iommu_group_ref_get sound best to me. Unfortunatly C has no function
overloading ;)
