um: virtio_uml: Fix broken device handling in time-travel
If a device implementation crashes, virtio_uml will mark it as dead by calling virtio_break_device() and scheduling the work that will remove it. This still seems like the right thing to do, but it's done directly while reading the message, and if time-travel is used, this is in the time-travel handler, outside of the normal Linux machinery. Therefore, we cannot acquire locks or do normal "linux-y" things because e.g. lockdep will be confused about the context. Move handling this situation out of the read function and into the actual IRQ handler and response handling instead, so that in the case of time-travel we don't call it in the wrong context. Chances are the system will still crash immediately, since the device implementation crashing may also cause the time- travel controller to go down, but at least all of that now happens without strange warnings from lockdep.
