[PATCH v2 1/3] KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Handle errors from vgic_add_lpi

During low memory conditions, we could be dereferencing a NULL pointer
when vgic_add_lpi fails to allocate memory.
Consider for example this call sequence:
vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapi
itte->irq = vgic_add_lpi(kvm, lpi_nr);
update_lpi_config(kvm, itte->irq, NULL);
ret = kvm_read_guest(kvm, propbase + irq->intid
^^^^
kaboom?
Instead, return an error pointer from vgic_add_lpi and check the return
value from its single caller.

Changes since v1:
- Don't errornously get an extra kref refernce for the struct vgic_irq
- Don't rework the entire error handling of the function, but follow
what Marc suggested he prefers based on his fixup patch.
