KVM: Don't clobber irqfd routing type when deassigning irqfd

When deassigning a KVM_IRQFD, don't clobber the irqfd's copy of the IRQ's
routing entry as doing so breaks kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer() on x86
and arm64, which explicitly look for KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI. Instead, to
handle a concurrent routing update, verify that the irqfd is still active
before consuming the routing information. As evidenced by the x86 and
arm64 bugs, and another bug in kvm_arch_update_irqfd_routing() (see below),
clobbering the entry type without notifying arch code is surprising and
error prone.

As a bonus, checking that the irqfd is active provides a convenient
location for documenting _why_ KVM must not consume the routing entry for
an irqfd that is in the process of being deassigned: once the irqfd is
deleted from the list (which happens *before* the eventfd is detached), it
will no longer receive updates via kvm_irq_routing_update(), and so KVM
could deliver an event using stale routing information (relative to
KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING returning to userspace).

As an even better bonus, explicitly checking for the irqfd being active
fixes a similar bug to the one the clobbering is trying to prevent: if an
irqfd is deactivated, and then its routing is changed,
kvm_irq_routing_update() won't invoke kvm_arch_update_irqfd_routing()
(because the irqfd isn't in the list). And so if the irqfd is in bypass
mode, IRQs will continue to be posted using the old routing information.

As for kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer(), clobbering the routing type
results in KVM incorrectly keeping the IRQ in bypass mode, which is
especially problematic on AMD as KVM tracks IRQs that are being posted to
a vCPU in a list whose lifetime is tied to the irqfd.

Without the help of KASAN to detect use-after-free, the most common
sympton on AMD is a NULL pointer deref in amd_iommu_update_ga() due to
the memory for irqfd structure being re-allocated and zeroed, resulting
in irqfd->irq_bypass_data being NULL when read by
avic_update_iommu_vcpu_affinity():

If AVIC is inhibited when the irfd is deassigned, the bug will manifest as
list corruption, e.g. on the next irqfd assignment.

list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffff8d474d5cd588),
but was 0000000000000000. (next=ffff8d8658f86530).

On Intel and arm64, the bug is less noisy, as the end result is that the
device keeps posting IRQs to the vCPU even after it's been deassigned.

Note, the worst of the breakage can be traced back to commit cb210737675e
("KVM: Pass new routing entries and irqfd when updating IRTEs"), as before
that commit KVM would pull the routing information from the per-VM routing
table. But as above, similar bugs have existed since support for IRQ
bypass was added. E.g. if a routing change finished before irq_shutdown()
invoked kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer(), VMX and SVM would see stale
routing information and potentially leave the irqfd in bypass mode.

Alternatively, x86 could be fixed by explicitly checking irq_bypass_vcpu
instead of irq_entry.type in kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer(), and arm64
could be modified to utilize irq_bypass_vcpu in a similar manner. But (a)
that wouldn't fix the routing updates bug, and (b) fixing core code doesn't
preclude x86 (or arm64) from adding such code as a sanity check (spoiler
alert).
