This fix treats a 0 return value from vfio_open_group_fd
in vfio_get_group_fd as the intended error condition instead
of putting an incorrect 0 file descriptor in the vfio_group table.

Sometimes, the creation of device files in sysfs is not
instantaneously causing vfio_open_groupfd to return 0.
This has been observed when hot removing/adding multiple
NVMe devices (>=4).

If it's returning an invalid value, is that a kernel bug?

I mean, looks fine to me, so
