We do not protect the vfio_device::open_count with group_rwsem elsewhere (see vfio_device_fops_release as a comparison, where we already drop group_rwsem before open_count--). So move the group_rwsem unlock prior to open_count--. This change now also drops group_rswem before setting device->kvm = NULL, but that's also OK (again, just like vfio_device_fops_release). The setting of device->kvm before open_device is technically done while holding the group_rwsem, this is done to protect the group kvm value we are copying from, and we should not be relying on that to protect the contents of device->kvm; instead we assume this value will not change until after the device is closed and while under the dev_set->lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
