We have a complicated model for multi-device groups...

The first device in the group to change domains must move all the
devices in the group

But userspace is still expected to run through and change all the
other devices

So replace should be a NOP if the group is already linked to the right
domain.

This patch needs to make sure that incosistency in the view betwen the
iommu_group and the iommufd model doesn't cause a functional
problem.
