This is the way to free an iommu-group. It was missing before probably
because it was unclear whether the add_device function allocated a group
or not. So there was no way to know if it needs to be put again in the
remove_device function.

With this patch the iommu-group is explicitly allocated when the
zpci_dev is created and destroyed again with it.
