[PATCH v2] RISC-V: KVM: Serialize IMSIC attributes with vCPU migration

[Xie Bo via B4 Relay]

From: Xie Bo <xb at ultrarisc.com>

KVM device ioctls are not serialized against KVM_RUN. As a result,
kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr() can snapshot the physical CPU and HGEI of
an IMSIC VS-file before a concurrent vCPU migration releases it.

The HGEI can then be allocated to another vCPU before imsic_vsfile_rw()
uses the stale tuple. A GET or SET attribute may consequently access the
new owner's interrupt file.

Serialize the entire IMSIC attribute operation with the target vCPU
mutex. This prevents the VS-file from being migrated and recycled until
the attribute access completes. Acquire the mutex killably so that the
device ioctl remains interruptible while waiting for KVM_RUN to finish.

Changes in v2:
- Use mutex_lock_killable() and return -EINTR when interrupted.
