It is useful to be able to do read-only traversal of the list of all the registered irqfd resamplers without locking the resampler_lock mutex. In particular, we are going to traverse it to search for a resampler registered for the given irq of an irqchip, and that will be done with an irqchip spinlock (ioapic->lock) held, so it is undesirable to lock a mutex in this context. So turn this list into an RCU list. For protecting the read side, reuse kvm->irq_srcu which is already used for protecting a number of irq related things (kvm->irq_routing, irqfd->resampler->list, kvm->irq_ack_notifier_list, kvm->arch.mask_notifier_list).

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 Restructured Text 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.
