Hi,

Four fixes for the LoongArch KVM irqchip code:

- Patch 1 clears the device pointer in the destroy callbacks: when
KVM_CREATE_DEVICE succeeds but the following fd allocation fails
(e.g. under RLIMIT_NOFILE), ops->destroy() frees the irqchip while
kvm->arch.* still points to it.

- Patch 2 loads kvm->arch.dmsintc once in the MSI injection path:
pch_msi_set_irq() re-reads the pointer between the non-NULL check
and the address-window comparison, so a concurrent device removal
can be observed between them.

- Patch 3 aligns kvm_pch_pic_create() with kvm_eiointc_create() by
propagating the real error code; the kvm_ipi_create() counterpart is
being fixed separately (Chaithanya Lagisetty).

- Patch 4 rejects repeated PCH-PIC CTRL_INIT with -EEXIST, tracking
the state with a has_init flag so the check and the MMIO base update
are atomic under slots_lock.

All patches carry Fixes tags.

Changes in v2:

- Drop "Guard against NULL irqchip in irq injection" (v1 patch 2) and
"Rebase steal time counter in vcpu context" (v1 patch 4) after
review discussion: their trigger scenarios are not reachable
through real VMM behaviour.

- Use the one-line destroy style in dmsintc suggested by Bibo.

- Track repeated PCH-PIC CTRL_INIT with a has_init flag and return
-EEXIST instead of -EBUSY, also suggested by Bibo; move the check
and base update under slots_lock so they are atomic.

- Add READ_ONCE() to the dmsintc pointer loads so the compiler
keeps each of them a single load.
