That SHA doesn't exist in my tree (maybe you mean 6e1aa2049154?). But even
then, I'm not sure 6e1aa2049154 is actually broken if you look at the
interaction with group creation in __iommu_probe_device().

In fact, isn't that the case in mainline too? If __iommu_probe_device()
returns 0, then we _know_ a group exists and so iommu_group_get() will
succeed. I'm still happy with the patch in case this changes in future,
but it doesn't appear to be fixing anything. Do you agree?
