KVM: Disable CPU hotplug during hardware enabling/disabling
Disable CPU hotplug when enabling/disabling hardware to prevent the
corner case where if the following sequence occurs:
1. A hotplugged CPU marks itself online in cpu_online_mask
2. The hotplugged CPU enables interrupt before invoking KVM's ONLINE
callback
3 hardware_{en,dis}able_all() is invoked on another CPU
the hotplugged CPU will be included in on_each_cpu() and thus get sent
through hardware_{en,dis}able_nolock() before kvm_online_cpu() is called.
start_secondary { ...
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true); <- 1
...
local_irq_enable(); <- 2
...
cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE); <- 3
}
KVM currently fudges around this race by keeping track of which CPUs have
done hardware enabling (see commit 1b6c016 "KVM: Keep track of which
cpus have virtualization enabled"), but that's an inefficient, convoluted,
and hacky solution.
