Subject: [PATCH] vfio/iommu_type1: Remove unused pinned_page_dirty_scope in vfio_iommu

pinned_page_dirty_scope is optimized out by commit 010321565a7d
("vfio/iommu_type1: Mantain a counter for non_pinned_groups"),
but appears again due to some issues during merging branches.
We can safely remove it here.

However, I'm not clear about the root problem. Is there a bug in git?
