KVM: arm/arm64: fix races in kvm_psci_vcpu_on
commit 6c7a5dce22b3f3cc44be098e2837fa6797edb8b8 upstream.
Fix potential races in kvm_psci_vcpu_on() by taking the kvm->lock
mutex. In general, it's a bad idea to allow more than one PSCI_CPU_ON
to process the same target VCPU at the same time. One such problem
that may arise is that one PSCI_CPU_ON could be resetting the target
vcpu, which fills the entire sys_regs array with a temporary value
including the MPIDR register, while another looks up the VCPU based
on the MPIDR value, resulting in no target VCPU found. Resolves both
races found with the kvm-unit-tests/arm/psci unit test.
