Subject[PATCH] kvm/vfio: ensure kvg instance stays around in kvm_vfio_group_add()
kvm_vfio_group_add() creates kvg instance, links it to kv->group_list,
and calls kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm() with kvg->file as an argument after
dropping kv->lock. If we race group addition and deletion calls, kvg
instance may get freed by the time we get around to calling
kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm().

Fix this by moving call to kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm() under the protection
of kv->lock. We already call it while holding the same lock when vfio
group is being deleted, so it should be safe here as well.

Fixes: ba70a89f3c2a ("vfio: Change vfio_group_set_kvm() to vfio_file_set_kvm()")
