[PATCH v2 0/5] Simplify vfio_iommu_type1 attach/detach routine

This is a preparatory series for IOMMUFD v2 patches. It enforces error
code -EMEDIUMTYPE in iommu_attach_device() and iommu_attach_group() when
an IOMMU domain and a device/group are incompatible. It also drops the
useless domain->ops check since it won't fail in current environment.

These allow VFIO iommu code to simplify its group attachment routine, by
avoiding the extra IOMMU domain allocations and attach/detach sequences
of the old code.

Worths mentioning the exact match for enforce_cache_coherency is removed
with this series, since there's very less value in doing that since KVM
won't be able to take advantage of it -- this just wastes domain memory.
Instead, we rely on Intel IOMMU driver taking care of that internally.

Changelog
v2:
 * Added -EMEDIUMTYPE to more IOMMU drivers that fit the category.
 * Changed dev_err to dev_dbg for -EMEDIUMTYPE to avoid kernel log spam.
 * Dropped iommu_ops patch, and removed domain->ops in VFIO directly,
   since there's no mixed-driver use case that would fail the sanity.
 * Updated commit log of the patch removing enforce_cache_coherency.
 * Fixed a misplace of "num_non_pinned_groups--" in detach_group patch.
 * Moved "num_non_pinned_groups++" in PATCH-5 to the common path between
   domain-reusing and new-domain pathways, like the code previously did.
 * Fixed a typo in EMEDIUMTYPE patch.
