kvm_vgic_set_owner() leaks a reference on the vgic_irq descriptor,
which does not seem to match up with any vgic_put_irq() that I can
find.
Since the irq pointer is not passed out and the caller must anyway
subsequently use vgic_get_irq() when is wants a pointer, it is not
clear why we should have a dangling refcount here.
The refcount is still needed inside kvm_vgic_set_owner() to prevent
the vgic_irq struct from disappearing while while it is
manipulated.
So, keep it vgic_get_irq() here, but add the matching
vgic_put_irq() before returning.

Based on the limited testing I've done so far, the patch _appears_ to
fix the bug.
However, I still don't understand which the bug is intermittent, or why
the arch_timer or pmu (the only apparent users of kvm_vgic_set_owner())
are claiming an LPI in the first place.
So there may be other bugs in the mix, or I may have misunderstood
something...
The bug (and fix) were observed with native qemu on ThunderX2, on a
merge of v5.1 with kvmarm/next commit 9eecfc22e0bf ("KVM: arm64: Fix
ptrauth ID register masking logic").
My qemu invocation was:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,accel=kvm,gic_version=3 -cpu host \
-smp 4 -nographic \
-drive id=vblock,file=block.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=vblock \
-kernel Image -append 'root=/dev/vda1 ro'
