iommu: Allow taking a reference on a group directly
iommu_group_get_for_dev() expects that the IOMMU driver's device_group callback return a group with a reference held for the given device. Whilst allocating a new group is fine, and pci_device_group() correctly handles reusing an existing group, there is no general means for IOMMU drivers doing their own group lookup to take additional references on an existing group pointer without having to also store device pointers or resort to elaborate trickery. Add an IOMMU-driver-specific function to fill the hole.
