KVM: x86/mmu: Protect TDP MMU page table memory with RCU

mainline inclusion

commit 7cca2d0b
category: feature
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I7S3VQ
CVE: NA

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7cca2d0b7e7d9f3cd740d41afdc00051c9b508a0



----------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to enable concurrent modifications to the paging structures in
the TDP MMU, threads must be able to safely remove pages of page table
memory while other threads are traversing the same memory. To ensure
threads do not access PT memory after it is freed, protect PT memory
with RCU.

Protecting concurrent accesses to page table memory from use-after-free
bugs could also have been acomplished using
walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end() and READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES,
coupling with the barriers in a TLB flush. The use of RCU for this case
has several distinct advantages over that approach.
1. Disabling interrupts for long running operations is not desirable.
   Future commits will allow operations besides page faults to operate
   without the exclusive protection of the MMU lock and those operations
   are too long to disable iterrupts for their duration.
2. The use of RCU here avoids long blocking / spinning operations in
   perfromance critical paths. By freeing memory with an asynchronous
   RCU API we avoid the longer wait times TLB flushes experience when
   overlapping with a thread in walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end().
3. RCU provides a separation of concerns when removing memory from the
   paging structure. Because the RCU callback to free memory can be
   scheduled immediately after a TLB flush, there's no need for the
   thread to manually free a queue of pages later, as commit_zap_pages
   does.
