As discussed in this thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20220516172734.GE1343366@nvidia.com/

Let's remove VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM and instead assume the association
has already been established prior to device_open. For the types today
that need a KVM (GVT, vfio-ap) these will fail if a KVM is not found.
Looking ahead, vfio-pci-zdev will optionally want the KVM association
(enable hardware assists) but it will not be a hard requirement (still
want to allow other, non-KVM userspace usage).

This is built on top of Jason's group locking series:
https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/vfio_group_locking

And tested with s390x-pci (zdev-kvm series) and vfio-ap (no GVT to test
with)

@Jason since it's based on your initial patch if you'd rather a SoB just
let me know.
