Leon Romanovsky 6ffe939bf9 vfio: Permit VFIO to work with pinned importers
Till now VFIO has rejected pinned importers, largely to avoid being used
with the RDMA pinned importer that cannot handle a move_notify() to revoke
access.

Using dma_buf_attach_revocable() it can tell the difference between pinned
importers that support the flow described in dma_buf_invalidate_mappings()
and those that don't.

Thus permit compatible pinned importers.

This is one of two items IOMMUFD requires to remove its private interface
to VFIO's dma-buf.
