KVM: irqfd: fix race between EPOLLHUP and irq_bypass_register_consumer

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792377

commit 9432a317 upstream.

A comment warning against this bug is there, but the code is not doing what
the comment says.  Therefore it is possible that an EPOLLHUP races against
irq_bypass_register_consumer.  The EPOLLHUP handler schedules irqfd_shutdown,
and if that runs soon enough, you get a use-after-free.
