Seems a bit overengineered, considering there are just two callers.  Doing

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/irq.c b/arch/x86/kernel/irq.c
index 20773d315308..766ffe3ba313 100644

  }
  EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kvm_set_posted_intr_wakeup_handler);
  

on top of path 1 ensures that the synchronization is only done on the
unregistration path.
