list_empty() requires the list to be initialized before. This check here
is to detect that map_resources was never called (this is only done on
the first VCPU run) and thus device_list is basically still all zeroes.
If we abort the guest without ever running a VCPU (for instance because
some initialization failed), we call vits_destroy() anyway (because this
is called when tearing down the VGIC device).
So the check is here to detect early that vits_destroy() has been called
without the ITS ever been fully initialized. This fixed a real bug when
the guest start was aborted before the ITS was ever used.
I will add a comment to make this clear.

If I got this correctly, we need the _safe variant if we want to remove
the list item within the loop. Or am I missing something here?

Cheers,
Andre.
