iommu: Fix wrong freeing of iommu_device->dev
commit 2926a2aa upstream. The struct iommu_device has a 'struct device' embedded into it, not as a pointer, but the whole struct. In the conversion of the iommu drivers to use struct iommu_device it was forgotten that the relase function for that struct device simply calls kfree() on the pointer. This frees memory that was never allocated and causes memory corruption. To fix this issue, use a pointer to struct device instead of embedding the whole struct. This needs some updates in the iommu sysfs code as well as the Intel VT-d and AMD IOMMU driver.
