Subject: [RESEND v3 2/3] KVM: x86: don't setup empty irq routing when KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP

From: Yi Wang <foxywang@...cent.com>

We found that it may cost more than 20 milliseconds very accidentally
to enable cap of KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP on a host which has many vms
already.

The reason is that when vmm(qemu/CloudHypervisor) invokes
KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP kvm will call synchronize_srcu_expedited() and
might_sleep and kworker of srcu may cost some delay during this period.

As we have set up empty irq routing when creating vm, so this is no
need now.
