KVM: Fix racy in kvm_free_assigned_irq
In the past, kvm_get_kvm() and kvm_put_kvm() was called in assigned device irq handler and interrupt_work, in order to prevent cancel_work_sync() in kvm_free_assigned_irq got a illegal state when waiting for interrupt_work done. But it's tricky and still got two problems: 1. A bug ignored two conditions that cancel_work_sync() would return true result in a additional kvm_put_kvm(). 2. If interrupt type is MSI, we would got a window between cancel_work_sync() and free_irq(), which interrupt would be injected again... This patch discard the reference count used for irq handler and interrupt_work, and ensure the legal state by moving the free function at the very beginning of kvm_destroy_vm(). And the patch fix the second bug by disable irq before cancel_work_sync(), which may result in nested disable of irq but OK for we are going to free it.
