Subject: [KVM PATCH v3 1/3] KVM: fix race in irq_routing logic

The current code suffers from the following race condition:

thread-1                                    thread-2
-----------------------------------------------------------

kvm_set_irq() {
   rcu_read_lock()
   irq_rt = rcu_dereference(table);
   rcu_read_unlock();

                                       kvm_set_irq_routing() {
                                          mutex_lock();
                                          irq_rt = table;
                                          rcu_assign_pointer();
                                          mutex_unlock();
                                          synchronize_rcu();

                                          kfree(irq_rt);

   irq_rt->entry->set(); /* bad */

-------------------------------------------------------------

Because the pointer is accessed outside of the read-side critical
section.  There are two basic patterns we can use to fix this bug:

1) Switch to sleeping-rcu and encompass the ->set() access within the
   read-side critical section,

   OR

2) Add reference counting to the irq_rt structure, and simply acquire
   the reference from within the RSCS.

This patch implements solution (1).
