You say below __kvm_unregister_irq_ack_notifier
and list_del_rcu need synchronize_rcu to take effect.
If so it seems unsafe to call kfree here.

Not sure what the implications are for kvm_set_irq.

It seems that this is not paired with synchronize_rcu.
I am guessing it's harmless but might e a good idea to
add a comment explaining why.
