Move slots_lock aquisition from kvm_ioapic_init() and kvm_create_pic()
to their caller.

As a result, x86's KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is now covered by a unified slots_lock
section, including kvm_setup_default_irq_routing().



I'm not sure about this...

here, the reader might wonder why we take slots_lock, since we aren't manipulating anything covered by the lock directly.

and here, the reader might wonder why we don't take slots_lock, which protects io_bus.

Maybe we ought to move slots_lock acquisition to kvm_io_bus_register() and friends.
