This moves a check for unregistered notifiers from fops release

This is going to be used in the following patch in cleanup
path. Since the next patch is RFC, this one might not be needed.

I didn't find any use in the following patch 11/11, did you mean
something else?

BTW the warning in vfio_group_release seems too late, the user
should actually unregister everything by close()?
