[libvirt] [PATCH 8/8] Wait for iommmu device to go away before reprobing the host driver

There could be a delay of 1 or 2 seconds before the vfio-pci driver
is unbound and the device file /dev/vfio/<iommu> is actually
removed. If the file exists, the host driver probing the device
can lead to crash. So, wait and avoid the crash. Setting the
timeout to 15 seconds for now.
