Several functions obtain the group reference and then release it before
returning. This gives the impression that the refcount is protecting
something for the duration of the function.
In truth all of these functions are called in places that know a device
driver is probed to the device and our locking rules already require
that dev->iommu_group cannot change while a driver is attached to the
struct device.
If this was not the case then this code is already at risk of triggering
UAF as it is racy if the dev->iommu_group is concurrently going to
NULL/free. refcount debugging will throw a WARN if kobject_get() is
called on a 0 refcount object to highlight the bug.
Remove the confusing refcounting and leave behind a comment about the
restriction.
