KVM devices were manipulating list data structures without any form of
synchronization, and some implementations of the create operations also
suffered from a lack of synchronization.

Now when we've split the xics create operation into create and init, we
can hold the kvm-&gt;lock mutex while calling the create operation and when
manipulating the devices list.

The error path in the generic code gets slightly ugly because we have to
take the mutex again and delete the device from the list, but holding
the mutex during anon_inode_getfd or releasing/locking the mutex in the
common non-error path seemed wrong.

KVM devices were manipulating list data structures without any form of
synchronization, and some implementations of the create operations also
suffered from a lack of synchronization.

Now when we've split the xics create operation into create and init, we
can hold the kvm-&gt;lock mutex while calling the create operation and when
manipulating the devices list.

<title>KVM: PPC: Move xics_debugfs_init out of create</title>

As we are about to hold the kvm-&gt;lock during the create operation on KVM
devices, we should move the call to xics_debugfs_init into its own
function, since holding a mutex over extended amounts of time might not
be a good idea.

Introduce an init operation on the kvm_device_ops struct which cannot
fail and call this, if configured, after the device has been created.
