If vfio_create_group() searches the group list and returns an already
existing group it does not put back the iommu_group reference that the
caller passed in.
Change the semantic of vfio_create_group() to not move the reference in
from the caller, but instead obtain a new reference inside and leave the
caller's reference alone. The two callers must now call iommu_group_put().
This is an unlikely race as the only caller that could hit it has already
searched the group list before attempting to create the group.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
