Oh, that is just because we took a shortcut in this logic and assumed
that if the group is open then all the devices are opened by the same
security domain.

But we can also more clearly state that any closed device is
acceptable for reset and doesn't need to be presented.

So, like this:

		if (cur_vma->vdev.open_count &&
		    !vfio_dev_in_groups(cur_vma, groups) &&
		    !iommufd_ctx_has_device(iommufd_ctx, &cur_vma->pdev->dev)) {
			ret = -EINVAL;
			goto err_undo;
		}
