Are we sure that a device hot-plugged into the group won't increase the
list of reserved IOVA ranges?

Currently iommu_get_group_resv_regions() queries reserved regions per
device and then merge them into the specified list.

Of course VFIO cannot cope with it since its group_attach() is done only
once. But if such scenario does exist then the current per-device
reservation in iommufd looks an improvement.
