The complication of the mutex and refcount will be amplified after we introduce the replace support for accesses. So, add a preparatory change of a constitutive helper iommufd_access_change_ioas() and its wrapper iommufd_access_change_ioas_id(). They can simply take care of existing iommufd_access_attach() and iommufd_access_detach(), properly sequencing the refcount puts so that they are truely at the end of the sequence after we know the IOAS pointer is not required any more.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
