Syzroot reports crash in kvm_irqfd_assign() is caused by use-after-free. Because kvm_irqfd_assign() and kvm_irqfd_deassign() can't run in parallel for one specific eventfd. When assign path hasn't been finished after irqfd has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, another thead may deassign the eventfd and free struct kvm_kernel_irqfd(). This causes assign path still uses struct kvm_kernel_irqfd freed by deassign path. To avoid such issue, make irqfd's reference under kvm->irq_srcu protection after irqfd added to kvm->irqfds.iterms list and call synchronize_srcu() in irq_shutdown() to make sure that irqfd has been fully initialized in the assign path.
