This refactor makes the vfio_device_open() to accept device, iommufd_ctx
pointer and kvm pointer. These parameters are generic items in today's
group path and furute device cdev path. Caller of vfio_device_open() should
take care the necessary protections. e.g. the current group path need to
hold the group_lock to ensure the iommufd_ctx and kvm pointer are valid.

This refactor also wraps the group spefcific codes in the device open and
close paths to be paired helpers like:

- vfio_device_group_open/close(): call vfio_device_open/close()
- vfio_device_group_use/unuse_iommu(): call iommufd or container
use/unuse

this pair is container specific. iommufd vs. container is selected
in vfio_device_first_open().

got it.

This probably should be renamed to vfio_device_iommufd_bind().

I'd like to see if Jason wants to modify it or not as it is
introduced in vfio compat series.

what about vfio_device_container_bind()?

maybe use_iommu seems suit more. bind is more likely a kind of
associating something with something. but this helper is more kind
of using the container. so I chose use_iommu. But I see the value
of using bind, it would make the two branches aligned.

Apart from those nits:
