Add an irqfd to its target eventfd's waitqueue while holding irqfds.lock, which is mildly terrifying but functionally safe. irqfds.lock is taken inside the waitqueue's lock, but if and only if the eventfd is being released, i.e. that path is mutually exclusive with registration as KVM holds a reference to the eventfd (and obviously must do so to avoid UAF). This will allow using the eventfd's waitqueue to enforce KVM's requirement that eventfd is assigned to at most one irqfd, without introducing races.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
