> Following the new rules in include/linux/iommu.h kdocs, EINVAL now can be
> used to indicate that domain and device are incompatible by a caller that
> treats it as a soft failure and tries attaching to another domain.
> 
> On the other hand, there are ->attach_dev callback functions returning it
> for obvious device-specific errors. They will result in some inefficiency
> in the caller handling routine.
> 
> Update these places to corresponding errnos following the new rules.
