vfio: Hold a reference to the iommu_group in kvm for SPAPR
SPAPR exists completely outside the normal iommu driver framework, the groups it creates are fake and are only created to enable VFIO's uAPI. Thus, it does not need to follow the iommu core rule that the iommu_group will only be touched while a driver is attached. Carry a group reference into KVM and have KVM directly manage the lifetime of this object independently of VFIO. This means KVM no longer relies on the vfio group file being valid to maintain the group reference.
