From: Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prak...@intel.com> "/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<grp_id>/type" file could be read to find out the default domain type of an iommu group. The default domain of an iommu group doesn't change after booting and hence could be read directly. But, after addding support to dynamically change iommu group default domain, the above assumption no longer stays valid.
iommu group default domain type could be changed at any time by writing to "/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<grp_id>/type". So, take group mutex before reading iommu group default domain type so that the user wouldn't see stale values or iommu_group_show_type() doesn't try to derefernce stale pointers.
