The iommufd_hw_pagetable_has_group is not a device-centric API and has
been a bit of a hack. And it needs to keep tracking an attached device
list on the hw_pagetable, and a device lock to protect the device list.

However, the coming domain replacement series can overcomplicate this
list/lock solution, especially to handle nested hw_pagetable use cases.
So, as a preparatory series, remove the device list/lock and also fix
the iommufd_hw_pagetable_has_group hack.

The iommufd_hw_pagetable_has_group() using the device list could be
replaced with a domain-pointer comparison between the hwpt->domain and
iommu_get_domain_for_dev(). The piece of dependency on list_empty() of
the device list can be also replaced with a refcount. Yet, the removal
of the device lock might introduce a race condition, so the ioas mutex
can be moved as an alternative protection.
