Drop the vfio_file_iommu_group() stub and instead unconditionally declare
the function to fudge around a KVM wart where KVM tries to do symbol_get()
on vfio_file_iommu_group() (and other VFIO symbols) even if CONFIG_VFIO=n.
Ensuring the symbol is always declared fixes a PPC build error when
modules are also disabled, in which case symbol_get() simply points at the
address of the symbol (with some attributes shenanigans). Because KVM
does symbol_get() instead of directly depending on VFIO, the lack of a
fully defined symbol is not problematic (ugly, but "fine").

Although KVM is firmly in the wrong (there is zero reason for KVM to build
virt/kvm/vfio.c when VFIO is disabled), fudge around the error in VFIO as
the stub is unnecessary and doesn't serve its intended purpose (KVM is the
only external user of vfio_file_iommu_group()), and there is an in-flight
series to clean up the entire KVM<->VFIO interaction, i.e. fixing this in
KVM would result in more churn in the long run, and the stub needs to go
away regardless.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
