I cc'd you on a patch that changes vfio_dev_present to fix a bug where
the device to iommu group lookup has been shutdown.  Using it for this
purpose probably has the same bug.  That code is in my next branch and
in the most reset pull request to Linus.

I think instead the code becomes much more simple.  We're registering a
callback for a struct device for which vfio-pci is the driver.  During
driver release we disable that callback for the device.  Thus during the
callback, we know the device is owned by vfio-pci, which means that the
drvdata has what we need.  So I think vfio_device_get_from_dev() simply
becomes:

struct vfio_device *vfio_get_device_from_dev(struct device *dev)
{
       struct vfio_device *device = dev_get_drvdata(dev);

       vfio_device_get(device);

       return device;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(vfio_get_device_from_dev);

Thanks,
Alex
