Modernize how vfio is creating the group char dev and sysfs presence. These days drivers with state should use cdev_device_add() and cdev_device_del() to manage the cdev and sysfs lifetime. This API requires the driver to put the struct device and struct cdev inside its state struct (vfio_group), and then use the usual device_initialize()/cdev_device_add()/cdev_device_del() sequence. Split the code to make this possible: - vfio_group_alloc()/vfio_group_release() are pair'd functions to alloc/free the vfio_group. release is done under the struct device kref. - vfio_create_group()/vfio_group_put() are pairs that manage the sysfs/cdev lifetime. Once the uses count is zero the vfio group's userspace presence is destroyed. - The IDR is replaced with an IDA. container_of(inode->i_cdev) is used to get back to the vfio_group during fops open. The IDA assigns unique minor numbers.
