Paolo Bonzini 250715a617 KVM: x86: protect KVM_CREATE_PIT/KVM_CREATE_PIT2 with kvm->lock

The syzkaller folks reported a NULL pointer dereference that seems
to be cause by a race between KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP and KVM_CREATE_PIT2.
The former takes kvm->lock (except when registering the devices,
which needs kvm->slots_lock); the latter takes kvm->slots_lock only.
Change KVM_CREATE_PIT2 to follow the same model as KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP.

Testcase:

    #include <pthread.h>
    #include <linux/kvm.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <sys/ioctl.h>
    #include <stdint.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <sys/syscall.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    long r[23];

    void* thr1(void* arg)
    {
        struct kvm_pit_config pitcfg = { .flags = 4 };
        switch ((long)arg) {
        case 0: r[2]  = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY|O_ASYNC);    break;
        case 1: r[3]  = ioctl(r[2], KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);         break;
        case 2: r[4]  = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, 0);    break;
        case 3: r[22] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_PIT2, &pitcfg); break;
        }
        return 0;
    }

    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
        long i;
        pthread_t th[4];

        memset(r, -1, sizeof(r));
        for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            pthread_create(&th[i], 0, thr, (void*)i);
            if (argc > 1 && rand()%2) usleep(rand()%1000);
        }
        usleep(20000);
        return 0;
    }
