Hmm, so we're using whether the device->kvm pointer gets cleared in
last_close to detect whether we should put the kvm reference.  That's a
bit obscure.  Our get and put is also asymmetric.

Did we decide that we couldn't do this via a schedule_work() from the
last_close function, ie. implementing our own version of an async put?
It seems like that potentially has a cleaner implementation, symmetric
call points, handling all the storing and clearing of kvm related
pointers within the get/put wrappers, passing only a vfio_device to the
put wrapper, using the "vfio_device_" prefix for both.  Potentially
we'd just want an unconditional flush outside of lock here for
deterministic release.

What's the downside?  Thanks,

Alex
