KVM: SVM: Take and hold ir_list_lock when updating vCPU's Physical ID entry
commit 4c08e737 upstream. 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.
