On the other hand, if we don't have ->kvm because something broke, then we may be out of luck anyway. There will certainly be no way to unregister the GISC; however, it may still be possible to unpin the pages if we still have q->saved_pfn.
The point is, if the queue is bound to vfio_ap, it can be reset. If we can't clean up the IRQ resources because something is broken, then there is nothing we can do about that.
Especially since the recently added WARN_ONCE macros calling reset_queues unconditionally ain't that bad: we would at least see if there is a problem with cleaning up the IRQ resources.
Let's make it unconditional again and observe. Can you send out a v4 with this and the other issue fixed.
