[PATCH v4 2/7] iommu: Lock group->mutex in iommu_deferred_attach()

The iommu_deferred_attach() function invokes __iommu_attach_device() while
not holding the group->mutex, like other __iommu_attach_device() callers.
Though there is no pratical bug being triggered so far, it would be better
to apply the same locking to this __iommu_attach_device(), since the IOMMU
drivers nowaday are more aware of the group->mutex -- some of them use the
iommu_group_mutex_assert() function that could be potentially in the path
of an attach_dev callback function invoked by the __iommu_attach_device().
The iommu_deferred_attach() will soon need to verify a new flag stored in
the struct group_device. To iterate the gdev list, the group->mutex should
be held for this matter too.
So, grab the mutex to guard __iommu_attach_device() like other callers.
