x86/KVM: Make sure KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB flag is not missed
There is a potential race in record_steal_time() between setting host-local vcpu->arch.st.steal.preempted to zero (i.e. clearing KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED) and propagating this value to the guest with kvm_write_guest_cached(). Between those two events the guest may still see KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED in its copy of kvm_steal_time, set KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB and assume that hypervisor will do the right thing. Which it won't. Instad of copying, we should map kvm_steal_time and that will guarantee atomicity of accesses to @preempted. This is part of CVE-2019-3016.
