Prior to iommufd_eventq_iopf_disable() the driver has to ensure the
threads calling isr->iommu_report_device_fault() are fenced.

New threads that start running cannot see the attach_handle() because
it is not in the xarray anymore. Old threads are completed because of
the fence.

That would make sense
