[PATCH v2] vfio/mdev: Check globally for duplicate devices

[Alex Williamson]

When we create an mdev device, we check for duplicates against the
parent device and return -EEXIST if found, but the mdev device
namespace is global since we'll link all devices from the bus.  We do
catch this later in sysfs_do_create_link_sd() to return -EEXIST, but
with it comes a kernel warning and stack trace for trying to create
duplicate sysfs links, which makes it an undesirable response.

Therefore we should really be looking for duplicates across all mdev
parent devices, or as implemented here, against our mdev device list.

Notably, mdev_parent.lock really only seems to be serializing device
creation and removal per parent.  I'm not sure if this is necessary,
mdev vendor drivers could easily provide this serialization if it
is required, but a side-effect of holding the mdev_list_lock to
protect the namespace is actually greater serialization across the
create and remove paths, so mdev_parent.lock is removed.  If we can
show that vendor drivers handle the create/remove paths themselves,
perhaps we can refine the locking granularity.
