As discussed in this thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20220516172734.GE1343366@nvidia.com/

Let's remove VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM and instead assume the association
has already been established prior to device_open.  For the types today
that need a KVM (GVT, vfio-ap) these will fail if a KVM is not found.
Looking ahead, vfio-pci-zdev will optionally want the KVM association
(enable hardware assists) but it will not be a hard requirement (still
want to allow other, non-KVM userspace usage). 

This is built on top of Jason's group locking series:
https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/vfio_group_locking

And tested with s390x-pci (zdev-kvm series) and vfio-ap (GVT changes are
compile-tested only)

Changes for v2:
- gvt no longer needs release_work, get rid of it (Christoph)
- a few compile fixes for gvt
- update commit to mention fixes gvt oops (Jason)
- s/down_write/down_read/ in a few spots (Jason)
- avoid kvm build dependency by holding group read lock over device
  open/close and put the onus on the driver to obtain a reference if
  it will actually use the kvm pointer.  Document the requirement,
  use lockdep_assert to ensure lock is held during register_notifer;
  today all callers are from driver open_device.
