vfio: grab vfio_device reference *before* exposing the sucker via fd_install()
It's not critical (anymore) since another thread closing the file will block on ->device_lock before it gets to dropping the final reference, but it's definitely cleaner that way... Acked-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
