[RFC v6 10/16] KVM: kvm-vfio: wrappers to VFIO external API device helpers

[Eric Auger]

Provide wrapper functions that allow KVM-VFIO device code to
interact with a vfio device:
- kvm_vfio_device_get_external_user gets a handle to a struct
  vfio_device from the vfio device file descriptor and increments
  its reference counter,
- kvm_vfio_device_put_external_user decrements the reference counter
  to a vfio device,
- kvm_vfio_external_base_device returns a handle to the struct device
  of the vfio device.

Also kvm_vfio_get_vfio_device and kvm_vfio_put_vfio_device helpers
are introduced.

---

v3 -> v4:
- wrappers are no more exposed in kvm_host and become kvm/vfio.c static
  functions
- added kvm_vfio_get_vfio_device/kvm_vfio_put_vfio_device in that
  patch file

v2 -> v3:
- reword the commit message and title

v1 -> v2:
- kvm_vfio_external_get_base_device renamed into
  kvm_vfio_external_base_device
- kvm_vfio_external_get_type removed
