[PATCH 3/6] vfio/iommu_type1: Initially set the pinned_page_dirty_scope

For now there are 3 ways to promote the pinned_page_dirty_scope
status of vfio_iommu:

1. Through vfio pin interface.
2. Detach a group without pinned_dirty_scope.
3. Attach a group with pinned_dirty_scope.

For point 3, the only chance to promote the pinned_page_dirty_scope
status is when vfio_iommu is newly created. As we can safely set
empty vfio_iommu to be at pinned status, then the point 3 can be
removed to reduce operations.
