Hoist the acquisition of ir_list_lock from avic_update_iommu_vcpu_affinity() to its two callers, avic_vcpu_load() and avic_vcpu_put(), specifically to encapsulate the write to the vCPU's entry in the AVIC Physical ID table. This will allow a future fix to pull information from the Physical ID entry when updating the IRTE, without potentially consuming stale information, i.e. without racing with the vCPU being (un)loaded. Add a comment to call out that ir_list_lock does NOT protect against multiple writers, specifically that reading the Physical ID entry in avic_vcpu_put() outside of the lock is safe. To preserve some semblance of independence from ir_list_lock, keep the READ_ONCE() in avic_vcpu_load() even though acuiring the spinlock effectively ensures the load(s) will be generated after acquiring the lock.

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.
