[PATCH v6 03/21] KVM: x86: Take the pvclock sync lock behind the tsc_write_lock

Wed Aug 4 01:58:01 PDT 2021


A later change requires that the pvclock sync lock be taken while
holding the tsc_write_lock. Change the locking in kvm_synchronize_tsc()
to align with the requirement to isolate the locking change to its own
commit.
