RDX, a.k.a. ir_data is NULL. This check in svm_ir_list_add()

implies pi->ir_data can be NULL, but neither avic_update_iommu_vcpu_affinity()
nor amd_iommu_update_ga() check ir->data for NULL.

amd_ir_set_vcpu_affinity() returns "success" without clearing pi.is_guest_mode

/* Note:
* This device has never been set up for guest mode.
* we should not modify the IRTE
*/
if (!dev_data || !dev_data->use_vapic)
return 0;

so it's plausible svm_ir_list_add() could add to the list with a NULL pi->ir_data.

But none of the relevant code has seen any meaningful changes since 5.15, so odds
are good I broke something :-/


Ok, I'll take this.
