Now that KVM provides the to-be-updated routing entry, stop walking the
routing table to find that entry. KVM, via setup_routing_entry() and
sanity checked by kvm_get_msi_route(), disallows having a GSI configured
to trigger multiple MSIs, i.e. the for-loop can only process one entry.

Alternatively, if you want to keep patches 28/29 separate, you could add this WARN_ON_ONCE to avic.c in the exact same place after checking e->type -- not so much for asserting purposes, but more to document what's going on for the reviewer.
