Move slots_lock aquisition from kvm_ioapic_init() and kvm_create_pic()
to their caller.
As a result, x86's KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is now covered by a unified slots_lock
section, including kvm_setup_default_irq_routing().
I'm not sure about this...

here, the reader might wonder why we take slots_lock, since we aren't
manipulating anything covered by the lock directly.

protects io_bus.
Maybe we ought to move slots_lock acquisition to kvm_io_bus_register()
and friends.
