vfio/type1: Fix task tracking for QEMU vCPU hotplug
MAP_DMA ioctls might be called from various threads within a process, for example when using QEMU, the vCPU threads are often generating these calls and we therefore take a reference to that vCPU task. However, QEMU also supports vCPU hotplug on some machines and the task that called MAP_DMA may have exited by the time UNMAP_DMA is called, resulting in the mm_struct pointer being NULL and thus a failure to match against the existing mapping. To resolve this, we instead take a reference to the thread group_leader, which has the same mm_struct and resource limits, but is less likely exit, at least in the QEMU case. A difficulty here is guaranteeing that the capabilities of the group_leader match that of the calling thread, which we resolve by tracking CAP_IPC_LOCK at the time of calling rather than at an indeterminate time in the future. Potentially this also results in better efficiency as this is now recorded once per MAP_DMA ioctl.
