When releasing a device, if the release action causes a group to be
released, a warning is emitted because it can't find the group. This
happens because devres_release_all() moves the entire list to a todo
list and also move the group markers. Considering r* normal resource
nodes and g1 a group resource node:

g1 -----------.
v v
r1 -> r2 -> g1[0] -> r3-> g[1] -> r4

After devres_release_all(), dev->devres_head becomes empty and the todo
list it iterates on becomes:

g1
v
r1 -> r2 -> r3-> r4 -> g1[0]

When a call to component_del() is made and takes down the aggregate
device, a warning like this happen:

RIP: 0010:devres_release_group+0x362/0x530
...
Call Trace:
<TASK>
component_unbind+0x156/0x380
component_unbind_all+0x1d0/0x270
mei_component_master_unbind+0x28/0x80 [mei_hdcp]
take_down_aggregate_device+0xc1/0x160
component_del+0x1c6/0x3e0
intel_hdcp_component_fini+0xf1/0x170 [xe]
xe_display_fini+0x1e/0x40 [xe]

Because the devres group corresponding to the hdcp component cannot be
found. Just ignore this corner case: if the dev->devres_head is empty
and the caller is trying to remove a group, it's likely in the process
of device cleanup so just ignore it instead of warning.

Thanks. Is it ok to take these 3 through the drm tree or are you taking
it through yours?
