API kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt() is mainly to used to deliver interrupt
from user mode, and internal APIs kvm_queue_irq() and kvm_dequeue_irq()
are used in kernel mode.
Also this patch removes unnecessary printk information with inject
unsupported interrupt with number 0.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [Critical] The KVM_INTERRUPT ioctl lacks bounds checking on the user-provided interrupt number, allowing unprivileged host userspace to trigger out-of-bounds bit operations.
- [Critical] Guest-controlled interrupt pin number extraction allows out-of-bounds bitwise writes in host kernel memory.
- [High] Time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in IPI delivery and clearance allows inter-processor interrupts to be lost.

commit 29e0cf4460ddc2a662b4de4e3946b4ad4d5ce123
Author: Bibo Mao <maobibo@loongson.cn>
LoongArch: KVM: User internal API to deliver interrupt in kernel mode
This commit refactors interrupt delivery in kernel mode to use the internal
APIs kvm_queue_irq() and kvm_dequeue_irq() directly, bypassing the ioctl
interface. It also removes the printk error message for invalid interrupts
with number 0.

[Severity: Critical]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the guest-controlled
ipnum lack bounds checking before being used here?
In eiointc_update_irq(), ipnum is calculated from the guest-controlled
s->ipmap register. If the guest enables EIOINTC_ENABLE_INT_ENCODE, this
value can be passed unmodified.
Since INT_HWI0 is 2, the passed IRQ number can be up to 257. Because
kvm_queue_irq() uses this to set a bit in vcpu->arch.irq_pending (which
is a single 64-bit unsigned long), does this write past the end of
irq_pending and corrupt adjacent host memory?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but can a race condition here
cause inter-processor interrupts to be lost?
The queuing of the interrupt via kvm_queue_irq() happens outside the lock
based on a local snapshot of status. If CPU 0 clears an IPI and unlocks, and
CPU 1 sets a new IPI and queues it, could CPU 0 then resume and incorrectly
execute kvm_dequeue_irq() based on its stale status?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but this dequeue operation appears
to mirror the race condition mentioned above, potentially clearing an interrupt
that was just queued by another CPU.

[Severity: Critical]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the KVM_INTERRUPT ioctl
handler lack bounds checking on the user-provided interrupt number?
The ioctl parses an __u32 irq from user memory and passes it to
kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt(), which unconditionally passes it to
kvm_queue_irq() or kvm_dequeue_irq().
Since these functions execute atomic bit operations (set_bit/clear_bit) on
vcpu->arch.irq_pending and vcpu->arch.irq_clear (which are single 64-bit
unsigned long values), could an unprivileged host process with /dev/kvm
access supply arbitrarily large values to manipulate host kernel memory
outside the bounds of the VCPU architecture struct?
