[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v14 17/26] vfio: Move device_del() before waiting for the last vfio_device registration refcount

[Yi Liu]

device_del() destroys the vfio-dev/vfioX under the sysfs for vfio_device.
There is no reason to keep it while the device is going to be unregistered.

This movement is also a preparation for adding vfio_device cdev. Kernel
should remove the cdev node of the vfio_device to avoid new registration
refcount increment while the device is going to be unregistered.
