KVM: SVM: Flush pages under kvm->lock to fix UAF in svm_register_enc_region()

commit 5ef1d8c1 upstream.

Do the cache flush of converted pages in svm_register_enc_region() before
dropping kvm->lock to fix use-after-free issues where region and/or its
array of pages could be freed by a different task, e.g. if userspace has
__unregister_enc_region_locked() already queued up for the region.

Note, the "obvious" alternative of using local variables doesn't fully
resolve the bug, as region->pages is also dynamically allocated.  I.e. the
region structure itself would be fine, but region->pages could be freed.

Flushing multiple pages under kvm->lock is unfortunate, but the entire
flow is a rare slow path, and the manual flush is only needed on CPUs that
lack coherency for encrypted memory.
