vfio: Make vfio_df_open() single open for device cdev path
VFIO group has historically allowed multi-open of the device FD. This
was made secure because the "open" was executed via an ioctl to the
group FD which is itself only single open.
However, no known use of multiple device FDs today. It is kind of a
strange thing to do because new device FDs can naturally be created
via dup().
When we implement the new device uAPI (only used in cdev path) there is
no natural way to allow the device itself from being multi-opened in a
secure manner. Without the group FD we cannot prove the security context
of the opener.
Thus, when moving to the new uAPI we block the ability of opening
a device multiple times. Given old group path still allows it we store
a vfio_group pointer in struct vfio_device_file to differentiate.
