KVM: Device assignment: Check for privileges before assigning irq

Even though we don't share irqs at the moment, we should ensure
regular user processes don't try to allocate system resources.

We check for capability to access IO devices (CAP_SYS_RAWIO) before
we request_irq on behalf of the guest.

Noticed by Avi.
