The iommu_deferred_attach() function invokes __iommu_attach_device(), but
doesn't hold the group->mutex like other __iommu_attach_device() callers.
Though there is no pratical bug being triggered so far, it would be better
to apply the same locking to this __iommu_attach_device(), since the IOMMU
drivers nowaday are more aware of the group->mutex -- some of them use the
iommu_group_mutex_assert() function that could be potentially in the path
of an attach_dev callback function invoked by the __iommu_attach_device().
Worth mentioning that the iommu_deferred_attach() will soon need to check
group->resetting_domain that must be locked also.
Thus, grab the mutex to guard __iommu_attach_device() like other callers.
Tested the series with PCI reset on PFs and VFs, including device
pass-through to a Linux guest. All scenarios worked as expected.

Thanks for testing!
Yet, this is replying to PATCH-1. So, you might want to reply with
your "Tested-by" tag to PATCH-0 :)
Sure.
Thanks
