Alexey Kardashevskiy 1508c22f11 KVM: PPC: Protect kvm_vcpu_read_guest with srcu locks
The kvm_vcpu_read_guest/kvm_vcpu_write_guest used for nested guests
eventually call srcu_dereference_check to dereference a memslot and
lockdep produces a warning as neither kvm->slots_lock nor
kvm->srcu lock is held and kvm->users_count is above zero (>100 in fact).

This wraps mentioned VCPU read/write helpers in srcu read lock/unlock as
it is done in other places. This uses vcpu->srcu_idx when possible.

These helpers are only used for nested KVM so this may explain why
we did not see these before.

Here is an example of a warning:

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.7.0-rc3-le_dma-bypass.3.2_a+fstn1 #897 Not tainted
-----------------------------
include/linux/kvm_host.h:633 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by qemu-system-ppc/2752:

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 Restructured Text 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.
