free_notifier() is called from RCU callback, and according to
Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt:

5.      If call_rcu() or call_srcu() is used, the callback function will
        be called from softirq context.  In particular, it cannot block.

When applying the patch I get the sleep-in-atomic warning:

That might be a problem for SMMU, which has 1024 * 64kB leaf PASID tables,
for a total of 64MB per endpoint if there is too much fragmentation in
the IOASID space.

Not really my place to comment on this, but I find it nicer to use the
same gpasid_unbind() path when VFIO frees a PASID as when the guest
explicitly unbinds before freeing.
