Don't bother clearing the PIT's IRQ line status when destroying the PIT,
as userspace can't possibly rely on KVM to lower the IRQ line in any sane
use case, and it's not at all obvious that clearing the PIT's IRQ line is
correct/desirable in kvm_create_pit()'s error path.
When called from kvm_arch_pre_destroy_vm(), the entire VM is being torn
down and thus {kvm_pic,kvm_ioapic}.irq_states are unreachable.
As for the error path in kvm_create_pit(), the only way the PIT's bit in
irq_states can be set is if userspace raises the associated IRQ before
KVM_CREATE_PIT{2} completes. Forcefully clearing the bit would clobber
userspace's input, nonsensical though that input may be. Not to mention
that no known VMM will continue on if PIT creation fails.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
