The iommu_deferred_attach() function invokes __iommu_attach_device(), but doesn't hold 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(). Worth mentioning that the iommu_deferred_attach() will soon need to check group->resetting_domain that must be locked also. Thus, grab the mutex to guard __iommu_attach_device() like other callers.
