Can't we simplify things even more? Do away with the DMA API owner
entirely, and instead in iommu_group_set_dma_owner iterate over all
devices in a group and check that they all have the no_dma_api flag
set (plus a similar check on group join). With that most of the
boilerplate code goes away entirely in favor of a little more work at
iommu_group_set_dma_owner time.
