[PATCH kernel] KVM: PPC: Release all hardware TCE tables attached to a group

The SPAPR TCE KVM device references all hardware IOMMU tables assigned to
some IOMMU group to ensure that in-kernel KVM acceleration of H_PUT_TCE
can work. The tables are references when an IOMMU group gets registered
with the VFIO KVM device by the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_ADD ioctl;
KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL calls into the dereferencing code
in kvm_spapr_tce_release_iommu_group() which walks through the list of
LIOBNs, finds a matching IOMMU table and calls kref_put() when found.

However that code stops after the very first successful derefencing
leaving other tables referenced till the SPAPR TCE KVM device is destroyed
which normally happens on guest reboot or termination so if we do hotplug
and unplug in a loop, we are leaking IOMMU tables here.

This removes a premature return to let kvm_spapr_tce_release_iommu_group()
find and dereference all attached tables.

I kinda hoped to blame RCU for misbehaviour but it was me all over again :)
