Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/2] iommu: Avoid crash if iommu_group is null

In trying to handle a possible driver probe ordering issue
brought up by Robin Murphy, I ran across a separate null pointer
crash in the iommu core in iommu_group_remove_device():

In the case above, the arm-smmu driver fails to probe with
EPROBE_DEFER, and I'm guessing I'm guessing that causes
iommu_group_add_device() to fail and sets the
dev->iommu_group = NULL, then somehow we hit
iommu_group_remove_device() and trip over the null value?
I'm not really sure...

Anyway, adding the null check seems to avoid the issue and the
system boots fine after the arm-smmu driver later reprobed.

Feedback or better ideas for a solution would be appreciated!
