iommufd/access: Add internal APIs for HW queue to use
The new HW queue object, as an internal iommufd object, wants to reuse the
struct iommufd_access to pin some iova range in the iopt.
However, an access generally takes the refcount of an ictx. So, in such an
internal case, a deadlock could happen when the release of the ictx has to
wait for the release of the access first when releasing a hw_queue object,
which could wait for the release of the ictx that is refcounted:
ictx --releases--> hw_queue --releases--> access
^ |
|_________________releases________________v
To address this, add a set of lightweight internal APIs to unlink the ictx
and the access, i.e. no ictx refcounting by the access:
ictx --releases--> hw_queue --releases--> access
Then, there's no point in setting the access->ictx. So simply define !ictx
as an flag for an internal use and add an inline helper.
