KVM: arm64: vgic-init: Plug vCPU vs. VGIC creation race

syzkaller has found another ugly race in the VGIC, this time dealing
with VGIC creation. Since kvm_vgic_create() doesn't sufficiently protect
against in-flight vCPU creations, it is possible to get a vCPU into the
kernel w/ an in-kernel VGIC but no allocation of private IRQs:

Plug the race by explicitly checking for an in-progress vCPU creation
and failing kvm_vgic_create() when that's the case. Add some comments to
document all the things kvm_vgic_create() is trying to guard against
too.
