		 * Test whether all the affected devices can be reset by the
		 * user.
		 *
		 * Resetting an unused device (not opened) is safe, because
		 * dev_set->lock is held in hot reset path so this device
		 * cannot race being opened by another user simultaneously.
		 *
		 * Otherwise all opened devices in the dev_set must be
