The idea is to let vfio core manage the vfio_device life cycle instead
of duplicating the logic cross drivers. Besides cleaner code in driver
side this also allows adding struct device to vfio_device as the first
step toward adding cdev uAPI in the future. Another benefit is that
user can now look at sysfs to decide whether a device is bound to
vfio [1], e.g.:

	/sys/devices/pci0000\:6f/0000\:6f\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfio0

Though most drivers can fit the new model naturally:

 - vfio_alloc_device() to allocate and initialize vfio_device
 - vfio_put_device() to release vfio_device
 - dev_ops->init() for driver private initialization
 - dev_ops->release() for driver private cleanup

vfio-ccw is the only exception due to a life cycle mess that its private
structure mixes both parent and mdev info hence must be alloc/freed
outside of the life cycle of vfio device.

Per prior discussions this won't be fixed in short term by IBM folks [2].

Instead of waiting this series introduces a few tricks to move forward:

 - vfio_init_device() to initialize a pre-allocated device structure;

 - require *EVERY* driver to implement @release and free vfio_device
   inside. Then vfio-ccw can use a completion mechanism to delay the
   free to css driver;

The second trick is not a real burden to other drivers because they
all require a @release for private cleanup anyay. Later once the ccw
mess is fixed a simple cleanup can be done by moving free from @release
to vfio core.

v2:
 - rebase to 6.0-rc3
 - fix build warnings (lkp)
 - patch1: remove unnecessary forward reference (Jason)
 - patch10: leave device_set released by vfio core (Jason)
 - patch13: add Suggested-by
 - patch15: add ABI file sysfs-devices-vfio-dev (Alex)
 - patch15: rename 'vfio' to 'vfio_group' in procfs (Jason)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220827171037.30297-1-kevin.tian@intel.com/

@Alex, before knowing your merging preference this is only rebased to
6.0-rc3.

There is no conflict with:

 - Remove private items from linux/vfio_pci_core.h
 - Break up ioctl dispatch functions to one function per ioctl

But conflict exists with Jason's two series:

 - Allow MMIO regions to be exported through dma-buf
 - vfio: Split the container code into a clean layer and dedicated file

Thanks
Kevin
