This counts the number of devices attached to a vfio_group, ie the number
of items in the group->device_list.
It is only read in vfio_pin_pages(), however that function already does
vfio_assert_device_open(). Given an opened device has to already be
properly setup with a group, this test and variable are redundant. Remove
it.
