[PATCH v2 1/3] kvm: arm/arm64: Take mmap_sem in stage2_unmap_vm

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier at arm.com>

We don't hold the mmap_sem while searching for the VMAs when
we try to unmap each memslot for a VM. Fix this properly to
avoid unexpected results.

Fixes: commit 957db105c997 ("arm/arm64: KVM: Introduce stage2_unmap_vm")
