KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Keep HPTE locked when invalidating
This reworks the implementations of the H_REMOVE and H_BULK_REMOVE hcalls to make sure that we keep the HPTE locked and in the reverse- mapping chain until we have finished invalidating it. Previously we would remove it from the chain and unlock it before invalidating it, leaving a tiny window when the guest could access the page even though we believe we have removed it from the guest (e.g., kvm_unmap_hva() has been called for the page and has found no HPTEs in the chain). In addition, we'll need this for future patches where we will need to read the R and C bits in the HPTE after invalidating it. Doing this required restructuring kvmppc_h_bulk_remove() substantially. Since we want to batch up the tlbies, we now need to keep several HPTEs locked simultaneously. In order to avoid possible deadlocks, we don't spin on the HPTE bitlock for any except the first HPTE in a batch. If we can't acquire the HPTE bitlock for the second or subsequent HPTE, we terminate the batch at that point, do the tlbies that we have accumulated so far, unlock those HPTEs, and then start a new batch to do the remaining invalidations.
