vfio: Allocate per device file structure


This is preparation for adding vfio device cdev support. vfio device
cdev requires:
1) A per device file memory to store the kvm pointer set by KVM. It will
   be propagated to vfio_device:kvm after the device cdev file is bound
   to an iommufd.
2) A mechanism to block device access through device cdev fd before it
   is bound to an iommufd.

To address the above requirements, this adds a per device file structure
named vfio_device_file. For now, it's only a wrapper of struct vfio_device
pointer. Other fields will be added to this per file structure in future
commits.
