'vfio_group_get_from_dev()' seems to return only NULL on error, not an error
pointer.
Fixes: 2169037dc322 ("vfio iommu: Added pin and unpin callback functions to vfio_iommu_driver_ops")
Fixes: c086de818dd8 ("vfio iommu: Add blocking notifier to notify DMA_UNMAP")

Dan Carpenter proposed a nearly identical patch:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg141468.html
The difference is you return -ENODEV while Dan returns -EINVAL. I tend
to prefer -ENODEV to distinguish this error case versus validation of
the other parameters. This patch also identifies both commits
introducing these, so I'm inclined to take this one rather than Dan's
version. Dan & Kirti, I welcome any credits you'd like to apply to
this patch for identifying and reviewing the same issue. Thanks,
Alex

Agree with you Alex. This version looks better.
