I am doing hotplug on PF.

Did more tests and find it is a little out of expectation. The conclusion is:
1. The iommu group is detached correctly,
2. The iommu group is attached three times
3. The warning is cleared based on the first patch instead of this one.
The three times to attach the iommu_group is:
pci_device_add
...
set_iommu_table_base_and_group <- 1st time, fail
device_add
...
tce_iommu_bus_notifier <- 2nd time, succees
pcibios_add_pci_devices
...
pcibios_setup_bus_devices <- 3rd time, re-attach
The error in patch 1 happens at the first time, since the dev->kobj->sd is not
initialized.
The warning in patch 2 happens at the 3rd time, since iommu group is already
attached in the 2nd time.
So this patch(the 2nd one) doesn't contribute to clear the warning and error.
Only the first patch did it. Please ignore this one.
