I think this is a good opportunity to start adding kernel-doc comments.
It's not very obvious how and when to use both iommufd_iommu_init() and
vfio_pci_device_attach_iommu(). A kernel-doc comment would help clarify
that.

Please put IOMMU_DESTROY into its own helper so this can be:

if (iommu->hwpt_id)
        iommufd_iommu_destroy(iommu, iommu->hwpt_id);

iommufd_iommu_destroy(iommu, iommu->ioas_id);

This breaks vfio_pci_sriov_uapi_test for all iommufd variants (9/45
fail). iommufd_setup() in that test returns the result of
__vfio_device_bind_iommufd() directly, and the
fixture/ASSERT_COND_VF_CREATION() treat any non-zero value as failure.

Something like the following is needed to fix it:

Is this assert needed? (Will vfio_device_attach_iommufd_pt() not handle
this appropriately?)
