[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Take the SRCU lock for page table walks in fault injection and AT emulation

inject_abt64() rewalks the guest stage-1 page tables via
__kvm_find_s1_desc_level() when injecting an abort for a failed S1PTW, and
__kvm_at_s12() calls kvm_walk_nested_s2() to perform the stage-2
translation. Both walks reference kvm->memslots through kvm_read_guest(),
which reads the descriptors, and __kvm_at_swap_desc(), which updates the
access flag, so they must run while holding the kvm->srcu read lock.
__kvm_at_swap_desc() asserts srcu_read_lock_held() on entry, and the other
callers of these walks, handle_at_slow(), kvm_translate_vncr() and
kvm_handle_guest_abort(), take the lock before calling them.
inject_abt64() is reached from the SEA and size fault injection paths,
which run before kvm_handle_guest_abort() takes the lock, and
__kvm_at_s12() does not hold the lock across the stage-2 walk. Take the
kvm->srcu read lock with guard(srcu) in both places so that it is held for
the duration of the walk.
