Subject: [PATCH v4 09/10] KVM: arm64: vgic: Ensure the irq refcount is nonzero when taking a ref

It will soon be possible for get() and put() calls to happen in
parallel, which means in most cases we must ensure the refcount is
nonzero when taking a new reference. Switch to using
vgic_try_get_irq_kref() where necessary, and document the few conditions
where an IRQ's refcount is guaranteed to be nonzero.
