The iommu_attach_group() call will fail when the group (which includes
GPU and sound device) it not in its default-domain. So if VFIO attached
the group to its own domain, there is a failure in this init function.

Note that this function is intended to be called by the driver currently
controling this device, so there should also be no race with VFIO trying
to grab the device in parallel.
