The test isn't going to work if a group doesn't exist. Normally this isn't
a problem since VFIO isn't going to create a device if there is no group,
but the special CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU behavior allows bypassing this
prevention. The new cap test effectively forces a group and breaks this
config option.
Move the cap test to vfio_group_find_or_alloc() which is the earliest time
we know we have a group available and thus are not running in noiommu mode.

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.
