vfio/iommufd: Remove the use of stat() to check file existence

Using stat() before opening a file or a directory can lead to a
time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) filesystem race, which is
reported by coverity as a Security best practices violations. The
sequence could be replaced by open and fdopendir but it doesn't add
much in this case. Simply use opendir to avoid the race.
