[PATCH v5.5 01/30] KVM: Ensure local memslot copies operate on up-to-date arch-specific data

When modifying memslots, snapshot the "old" memslot and copy it to the
"new" memslot's arch data after (re)acquiring slots_arch_lock.  x86 can
change a memslot's arch data while memslot updates are in-progress so
long as it holds slots_arch_lock, thus snapshotting a memslot without
holding the lock can result in the consumption of stale data.

Fixes: b10a038e84d1 ("KVM: mmu: Add slots_arch_lock for memslot arch fields")
