Subject: vfio: put off the allocation of "minor" in vfio_create_group
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2f51bf4be99386f49841b6365a85a5cabc148565;p=linux-beck.git

vfio: put off the allocation of "minor" in vfio_create_group

The next code fragment "list_for_each_entry" is not depend on "minor". With this
patch, the free of "minor" in "list_for_each_entry" can be reduced, and there is
no functional change.
