powerpc: kvm: fix rare but potential deadlock scene
commit 91648ec09c1ef69c4d840ab6dab391bfb452d554 upstream.
Since kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() is called from both virtmode and
realmode, so it can trigger the deadlock.
Suppose the following scene:
Two physical cpuM, cpuN, two VM instances A, B, each VM has a group of
vcpus.
If on cpuM, vcpu_A_1 holds bitlock X (HPTE_V_HVLOCK), then is switched
out, and on cpuN, vcpu_A_2 try to lock X in realmode, then cpuN will be
caught in realmode for a long time.
What makes things even worse if the following happens,
On cpuM, bitlockX is hold, on cpuN, Y is hold.
vcpu_B_2 try to lock Y on cpuM in realmode
vcpu_A_2 try to lock X on cpuN in realmode
Oops! deadlock happens
