KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Erase LPIs from xarray outside of raw spinlocks

syzkaller has caught us red-handed once more, this time nesting regular
spinlocks behind raw spinlocks:

This is of course no good, but is at odds with how LPI refcounts are
managed. Solve the locking mess by deferring the release of unreferenced
LPIs after the ap_list_lock is released. Mark these to-be-released LPIs
specially to avoid racing with vgic_put_irq() and causing a double-free.

Since references can only be taken on LPIs with a nonzero refcount,
extending the lifetime of freed LPIs is still safe.
