vfio: Remove calls to vfio_group_add_container_user()

Browse source

When the open_device() op is called the container_users is incremented and
held incremented until close_device(). Thus, so long as drivers call
functions within their open_device()/close_device() region they do not
need to worry about the container_users.

These functions can all only be called between open_device() and
close_device():

  vfio_pin_pages()
  vfio_unpin_pages()
  vfio_dma_rw()
  vfio_register_notifier()
  vfio_unregister_notifier()

Eliminate the calls to vfio_group_add_container_user() and add
vfio_assert_device_open() to detect driver mis-use. This causes the
close_device() op to check device->open_count so always leave it elevated
while calling the op.
