KVM: Switch assigned device IRQ forwarding to threaded handler
This improves the IRQ forwarding for assigned devices: By using the
kernel's threaded IRQ scheme, we can get rid of the latency-prone work
queue and simplify the code in the same run.
Moreover, we no longer have to hold assigned_dev_lock while raising the
guest IRQ, which can be a lenghty operation as we may have to iterate
over all VCPUs. The lock is now only used for synchronizing masking vs.
unmasking of INTx-type IRQs, thus is renames to intx_lock.
