[PATCH v2 44/50] KVM: Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@intel.com>

Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock now
that KVM hooks CPU hotplug during the ONLINE phase, which can sleep.
Previously, KVM hooked the STARTING phase, which is not allowed to sleep
and thus could not take kvm_lock (a mutex).  This effectively allows the
task that's initiating hardware enabling/disabling to preempted and/or
migrated.

Note, the Documentation/virt/kvm/locking.rst statement that kvm_count_lock
is "raw" because hardware enabling/disabling needs to be atomic with
respect to migration is wrong on multiple fronts.  First, while regular
spinlocks can be preempted, the task holding the lock cannot be migrated.
Second, preventing migration is not required.  on_each_cpu() disables
preemption, which ensures that cpus_hardware_enabled correctly reflects
hardware state.  The task may be preempted/migrated between bumping
kvm_usage_count and invoking on_each_cpu(), but that's perfectly ok as
kvm_usage_count is still protected, e.g. other tasks that call
hardware_enable_all() will be blocked until the preempted/migrated owner
exits its critical section.

KVM does have lockless accesses to kvm_usage_count in the suspend/resume
flows, but those are safe because all tasks must be frozen prior to
suspending CPUs, and a task cannot be frozen while it holds one or more
locks (userspace tasks are frozen via a fake signal).

Preemption doesn't need to be explicitly disabled in the hotplug path.
The hotplug thread is pinned to the CPU that's being hotplugged, and KVM
only cares about having a stable CPU, i.e. to ensure hardware is enabled
on the correct CPU.  Lockep, i.e. check_preemption_disabled(), plays nice
with this state too, as is_percpu_thread() is true for the hotplug thread.
