Subject: [PATCH] iommu: WARN_ON when removing a device with no iommu_group associated

When removing a device from the system, iommu_group driver will try to
disconnect it from its group. While in some cases, one device may not
associated with any iommu_group. For example, not enough DMA address space.

In the generic bus notification, it will check dev->iommu_group before calling
iommu_group_remove_device(). While in some cases, developers may call
iommu_group_remove_device() in a different code path and without check. For
those devices with dev->iommu_group set to NULL, kernel will crash.

This patch gives a warning and return when trying to remove a device from an
iommu_group with dev->iommu_group set to NULL. This helps to indicate some bad
behavior and also guard the kernel.
