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.

Yes, this is a more correct fix indeed. There is still a bit of a bizarre
behaviour if you have two vgic_add_lpi() racing to create the same interrupt, which is pretty dodgy anyway (it means we have two MAPI at the same time...).
You end-up with re-reading the state from memory... Oh well.

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

I've fixed it as such (with a comment for a good measure):

Let me know if you agree with that.

Agreed. Thanks for the fix!
