vfio: Add missing locking for struct vfio_group::kvm



Without locking userspace can trigger a UAF by racing
KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL with VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD:

              CPU1                               CPU2
					    ioctl(KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL)
 ioctl(VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD)
    vfio_group_get_device_fd
     open_device()
      intel_vgpu_open_device()
        vfio_register_notifier()
	 vfio_register_group_notifier()
	   blocking_notifier_call_chain(&group->notifier,
               VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM, group->kvm);

					      set_kvm()
						group->kvm = NULL
					    close()
					     kfree(kvm)

             intel_vgpu_group_notifier()
                vdev->kvm = data
    [..]
        kvm_get_kvm(vgpu->kvm);
	    // UAF!

Add a simple rwsem in the group to protect the kvm while the notifier is
using it.

Note this doesn't fix the race internal to i915 where userspace can
trigger two VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM's before we reach a consumer of
vgpu->kvm and trigger this same UAF, it just makes the notifier
self-consistent.
