If we're going to fail out the vgic_add_lpi(), let's make sure the
allocated vgic_irq memory is also freed. Though it seems that both
cases are unlikely to fail.

Looking at it again, I realized that this error handling is still not
complete. Maybe we should use a vgic_put_irq() instead so that we can
also properly delete the vgic_irq from lpi_list.

Marc, what do you think? Could you please help to fix it, or I can
resend it.
