s390/kvm: fix interrupt race with HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT

Browse source

The HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT macro is used in the interrupt handlers
and the program check handler to undo a few changes done by sie64a.
Among them are guest vs host LPP, the gmap ASCE vs kernel ASCE and
the bit that indicates that SIE is currently running on the CPU.

There is a race of a voluntary SIE exit vs asynchronous interrupts.
If the CPU completed the SIE instruction and the TM instruction of
the LPP macro at the time it receives an interrupt, the interrupt
handler will run while the LPP, the ASCE and the SIE bit are still
set up for guest execution. This might result in wrong sampling data,
but it will not cause data corruption or lockups.

The critical section in sie64a needs to be enlarged to include all
instructions that undo the changes required for guest execution.
