For now there are 3 ways to promote the pinned_page_dirty_scope status of vfio_iommu: 1. Through vfio pin interface. 2. Detach a group without pinned_dirty_scope. 3. Attach a group with pinned_dirty_scope. For point 3, the only chance to promote the pinned_page_dirty_scope status is when vfio_iommu is newly created. As we can safely set empty vfio_iommu to be at pinned status, then the point 3 can be removed to reduce operations.
