KVM: MIPS: Disable HTW while in guest
Ensure any hardware page table walker (HTW) is disabled while in KVM guest mode, as KVM doesn't yet set up hardware page table walking for guest mappings so the wrong mappings would get loaded, resulting in the guest hanging or crashing once it reaches userland. The HTW is disabled and re-enabled around the call to __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() which does the initial switch into guest mode and the final switch out of guest context. Additionally it is enabled for the duration of guest exits (i.e. kvm_mips_handle_exit()), getting disabled again before returning back to guest or host. In all cases the HTW is only disabled in normal kernel mode while interrupts are disabled, so that the HTW doesn't get left disabled if the process is preempted.
