Subject: [PATCH v3 08/10] KVM: arm64: vgic: Rely on RCU protection in vgic_get_lpi()

Stop acquiring the lpi_list_lock in favor of RCU for protecting
the read-side critical section in vgic_get_lpi(). In order for this to
be safe, we also need to be careful not to take a reference on an irq
with a refcount of 0, as it is about to be freed.
