vfio: Add struct device to vfio_device
and replace kref. With it a 'vfio-dev/vfioX' node is created under the sysfs path of the parent, indicating the device is bound to a vfio driver, e.g.: /sys/devices/pci0000\:6f/0000\:6f\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfio0 It is also a preparatory step toward adding cdev for supporting future device-oriented uAPI. Add Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-vfio-dev.

+Description:
+ This directory is created when the device is bound to a
+ vfio driver. The layout under this directory matches what
+ exists for a standard 'struct device'. 'X' is a unique
+ index marking this device in vfio.
