kvm: Introduce kvm_arch_irqchip_create

Introduce kvm_arch_irqchip_create an arch-specific hook in preparation
for architecture-specific use of the device control API to create IRQ
chips.

Following patches will implement the ARM irqchip create method to prefer
the device control API over the older KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP API.
