v3 cover Fix EPF configfs attribute group removal

A couple of patches to fix removal of configfs attribute groups of a PCI endpoint function driver.

Changes from v2:
- Use list_del() instead of list_del_init() in patch 2
- Added Niklas' review tags

Changes from v1:
- Split out patch 1 from patch 2 as requested by Niklas.

PATCH v3 1/2 PCI: endpoint: Fix configfs group list head handling

Doing a list_del() on the epf_group field of struct pci_epf_driver in pci_epf_remove_cfs() is not correct as this field is a list head, not a list entry. This list_del() call triggers a KASAN warning when an endpoint function driver which has a configfs attribute group is torn down:

Remove this incorrect list_del() call from pci_epf_remove_cfs().

PATCH v3 2/2 PCI: endpoint: Fix configfs group removal on driver teardown

In reply to Damien Le Moal

An endpoint driver configfs attributes group is added to the epf_group list of struct pci_epf_driver by pci_epf_add_cfs() but an added group is not removed from this list when the attribute group is unregistered with pci_ep_cfs_remove_epf_group().

Add the missing list_del() call in pci_ep_cfs_remove_epf_group() to correctly remove the attribute group from the driver list.

With this change, once the loop over all attribute groups in pci_epf_remove_cfs() completes, the driver epf_group list should be empty. Add a WARN_ON() to make sure of that.

Fixes ef1433f717a2 ("PCI: endpoint: Create configfs entry for each pci_epf_device_id table entry")
