KVM: Treat the device list as an rculist
A subsequent change to KVM/arm64 will necessitate walking the device
list outside of the kvm->lock. Prepare by converting to an rculist. This
has zero effect on the VM destruction path, as it is expected every
reader is backed by a reference on the kvm struct.
On the other hand, ensure a given device is completely destroyed before
dropping the kvm->lock in the release() path, as certain devices expect
to be a singleton (e.g. the vfio-kvm device).
