Subject[PATCH 15/36] KVM: make kvm_unregister_irq_ack_notifier() safe
Date
From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>

We never pass a NULL notifier pointer here, but we may well
pass a notifier struct which hasn't previously been
registered.

Guard against this by using hlist_del_init() which will
not do anything if the node hasn't been added to the list
and, when removing the node, will ensure that a subsequent
call to hlist_del_init() will be fine too.

Fixes an oops seen when an assigned device is freed before
and IRQ is assigned to it.
