KVM: Don't keep reference to irq routing table in irqfd struct
This makes the irqfd code keep a copy of the irq routing table entry for each irqfd, rather than a reference to the copy in the actual irq routing table maintained in kvm/virt/irqchip.c. This will enable us to change the routing table structure in future, or even not have a routing table at all on some platforms. The synchronization that was previously achieved using srcu_dereference on the read side is now achieved using a seqcount_t structure. That ensures that we don't get a halfway-updated copy of the structure if we read it while another thread is updating it. We still use srcu_read_lock/unlock around the read side so that when changing the routing table we can be sure that after calling synchronize_srcu, nothing will be using the old routing.
