vfio/pci: Remove vfio_device_get_from_dev()
The last user of this function is in PCI callbacks that want to convert their struct pci_dev to a vfio_device. Instead of searching use the vfio_device available trivially through the drvdata. When a callback in the device_driver is called, the caller must hold the device_lock() on dev. The purpose of the device_lock is to prevent remove() from being called (see __device_release_driver), and allow the driver to safely interact with its drvdata without races. The PCI core correctly follows this and holds the device_lock() when calling error_detected (see report_error_detected) and sriov_configure (see sriov_numvfs_store). Further, since the drvdata holds a positive refcount on the vfio_device any access of the drvdata, under the device_lock(), from a driver callback needs no further protection or refcounting. Thus the remark in the vfio_device_get_from_dev() comment does not apply here, VFIO PCI drivers all call vfio_unregister_group_dev() from their remove callbacks under the device_lock() and cannot race with the remaining callers.
