vfio: Make the group FD disassociate from the iommu_group
Allow the vfio_group struct to exist with a NULL iommu_group pointer. When the pointer is NULL the vfio_group users promise not to touch the iommu_group. This allows a driver to be hot unplugged while userspace is keeping the group FD open. Remove all the code waiting for the group FD to close. This fixes a userspace regression where we learned that virtnodedevd leaves a group FD open even though the /dev/ node for it has been deleted and all the drivers for it unplugged.
