[PULL 02/12] 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.
