KVM: irqfd: Make resampler_list an RCU list
It is useful to be able to do read-only traversal of the list of all the registered irqfd resamplers without locking the resampler_lock mutex. In particular, we are going to traverse it to search for a resampler registered for the given irq of an irqchip, and that will be done with an irqchip spinlock (ioapic->lock) held, so it is undesirable to lock a mutex in this context. So turn this list into an RCU list. For protecting the read side, reuse kvm->irq_srcu which is already used for protecting a number of irq related things (kvm->irq_routing, irqfd->resampler->list, kvm->irq_ack_notifier_list, kvm->arch.mask_notifier_list).
