KVM: x86: fix deadlock in clock-in-progress request handling
There is a deadlock in pvclock handling:
cpu0: cpu1:
kvm_gen_update_masterclock()
kvm_guest_time_update()
spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock)
local_irq_save(flags)
spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock)
kvm_make_mclock_inprogress_request(kvm)
make_all_cpus_request()
smp_call_function_many()
Now if smp_call_function_many() called by cpu0 tries to call function on
cpu1 there will be a deadlock.
Fix by moving pvclock_gtod_sync_lock protected section outside irq
disabled section.
