[SRU bionic/master 1/1] UBUNTU: SAUCE: base/dd: limit release function changes to vfio driver only

It seems that we can trigger the new race detection after remove()
with some drivers which clear the driver as they unreference
the module.  This leads us to fail to clear down those devices which
triggers suspend/resume issues.

Limit the core changes to only apply to the vfio driver while we
work with upstream on a more generic fix.

Fixes: 876dcb5f4576 ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: vfio -- release device lock before userspace requests")
