[PATCH v2 2/4] KVM: arm64: vgic: Explicitly implement vgic_dist::ready ordering

[Keir Fraser]

In preparation to remove synchronize_srcu() from MMIO registration,
remove the distributor's dependency on this implicit barrier by
direct acquire-release synchronization on the flag write and its
lock-free check.
