Jonathon Jongsma f25b13b6e5 nodedev: fix hang when destroying an mdev in use
Calling `mdevctl stop` for a mediated device that is in use by an active
domain will block until that vm exits (or the vm closes the device).
Since the nodedev driver cannot query the hypervisor driver to see
whether any active domains are using the device, we resort to a
workaround that relies on the fact that a vfio group can only be opened
by one user at a time. If we get an EBUSY error when attempting to open
the group file, we assume the device is in use and refuse to try to
destroy that device.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
