I had an impression from past discussions that the caller should not
race attach/detach/replace on same device or pasid, otherwise it is
already a problem in a higher level.

and the original intention of the group lock was to ensure all devices
in the group have a same view. Not exactly to guard concurrent
attach/detach.

If this understanding is incorrect we can add a lock for sure. 😊
