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.
