Before.

Hmm, where do we have an iommufd_vdevice_destroy after unbind?

Things should be symmetric. As you suspected, vdevice should be
destroyed before iommufd_device_detach.

A vdev is an object on top of a vIOMMU obj and an idev obj, so
it takes a refcount from each of them. That's why idev couldn't
unbind.
