This patch calls iommu_register_device_fault_handler from
vfio_pci_init_fault_region, leading to the following call stack:

iommu_register_device_fault_handler
vfio_pci_init_fault_region
vfio_pci_enable
vfio_pci_open
vfio_group_get_device_fd

And then this patch calls iommu_unregister_device_fault_handler from
vfio_pci_remove, and not from vfio_pci_release.

I think this means a device cannot be used twice in a row without unloading the
module.

Here is an example sequence:

1. modprobe vfio-pci
2. Userspace uses VFIO, calls ioctl(VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD)
    2.1. iommu_register_device_fault_handler is called
3. Userspace exits
    3.1. vfio_pci_release is called,
         but iommu_unregister_device_fault_handler is not called
4. Userspace uses VFIO agin, calls ioctl(VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD) again
    4.1. iommu_register_device_fault_handler is called again,
         notices a fault handler is already there,
         returns -EBUSY

Unloading the vfio-pci module will call vfio_pci_remove.

Maybe iommu_unregister_device_fault_handler should be called from
vfio_pci_release instead of vfio_pci_remove?

Best regards,
Vincent.
