vfio: Delete the unbound_list
commit 60720a0f ("vfio: Add device tracking during unbind") added the unbound list to plug a problem with KVM where KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL relied on vfio_group_get_external_user() succeeding to return the vfio_group from a group file descriptor. The unbound list allowed vfio_group_get_external_user() to continue to succeed in edge cases. However commit 5d6dee80 ("vfio: New external user group/file match") deleted the call to vfio_group_get_external_user() during KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL. Instead vfio_external_group_match_file() is used to directly match the file descriptor to the group pointer. This in turn avoids the call down to vfio_dev_viable() during KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL and also avoids the trouble the first commit was trying to fix. There are no other users of vfio_dev_viable() that care about the time after vfio_unregister_group_dev() returns, so simply delete the unbound_list entirely.
