Jason Gunthorpe a2fbf4acd2 vfio: Split creation of a vfio_device into init and register ops
[ Upstream commit 0bfc6a4ea6 ]

This makes the struct vfio_device part of the public interface so it
can be used with container_of and so forth, as is typical for a Linux
subystem.

This is the first step to bring some type-safety to the vfio interface by
allowing the replacement of 'void *' and 'struct device *' inputs with a
simple and clear 'struct vfio_device *'

For now the self-allocating vfio_add_group_dev() interface is kept so each
user can be updated as a separate patch.

The expected usage pattern is

  driver core probe() function:
     my_device = kzalloc(sizeof(*mydevice));
     vfio_init_group_dev(&my_device->vdev, dev, ops, mydevice);
     /* other driver specific prep */
     vfio_register_group_dev(&my_device->vdev);
     dev_set_drvdata(dev, my_device);

  driver core remove() function:
     my_device = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
     vfio_unregister_group_dev(&my_device->vdev);
     /* other driver specific tear down */
     kfree(my_device);

Allowing the driver to be able to use the drvdata and vfio_device to go
to/from its own data.

The pattern also makes it clear that vfio_register_group_dev() must be
last in the sequence, as once it is called the core code can immediately
start calling ops. The init/register gap is provided to allow for the
driver to do setup before ops can be called and thus avoid races.
