Oliver Upton d54594accf KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Erase LPIs from xarray outside of raw spinlocks
syzkaller has caught us red-handed once more, this time nesting regular
spinlocks behind raw spinlocks:

  =============================
  [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
  6.16.0-rc3-syzkaller-g7b8346bd9fce #0 Not tainted
  -----------------------------
  syz.0.29/3743 is trying to lock:

  other info that might help us debug this:
  context-{5:5}

This is of course no good, but is at odds with how LPI refcounts are
managed. Solve the locking mess by deferring the release of unreferenced
LPIs after the ap_list_lock is released. Mark these to-be-released LPIs
specially to avoid racing with vgic_put_irq() and causing a double-free.

Since references can only be taken on LPIs with a nonzero refcount,
extending the lifetime of freed LPIs is still safe.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
