Hi Alex,

Here is the latest group_lock vs kvm lock deadlock fix + a non-fix
follow-on to remove the kvm argument from vfio_device_open and
vfio_device_first_open.

Changes from v3:
* Remove device->group->kvm reference in vfio_main by passing the
  kvm in (Kevin)
* Slight re-organization to make it easier for cdev to build upon
  this later and keep symmetry between get/put (Alex)
* Add follow-on patch that removes unused kvm argument (Yi)

Changes from v2:
* Relocate the new functions back to vfio_main and externalize to call
  from group (Kevin) since cdev will need this too
* s/vfio_kvm_*_kvm/vfio_device_*_kvm/ and only pass device as input.
  Handle new kvm_ref_lock directly inside vfio_device_get_kvm (Alex)
* Add assert_lockdep_held for dev_set lock (Alex)
* Internalize error paths for vfio_device_get_kvm_safe and now return
  void - either device->kvm is set with a ref taken or is NULL (Alex)
* Other flow suggestions to make the call path cleaner - Thanks! (Alex)
* Can't pass group->kvm to vfio_device_open, as it references the value
  outside of new lock.  Pass device->kvm to minimize changes in this
  fix (Alex, Yi)

Changes from v1:
* use spin_lock instead of spin_lock_irqsave (Jason)
* clear device->kvm_put as part of vfio_kvm_put_kvm (Yi)
* Re-arrange code to avoid referencing the group contents from within
  vfio_main (Kevin) which meant moving most of the code in this patch 
  to group.c along with getting/dropping of the dev_set lock
