KVM: SVM: Take and hold ir_list_lock when updating vCPU's Physical ID entry
Hoist the acquisition of ir_list_lock from avic_update_iommu_vcpu_affinity()
to its two callers, avic_vcpu_load() and avic_vcpu_put(), specifically to
encapsulate the write to the vCPU's entry in the AVIC Physical ID table.
This will allow a future fix to pull information from the Physical ID entry
when updating the IRTE, without potentially consuming stale information,
i.e. without racing with the vCPU being (un)loaded.
Add a comment to call out that ir_list_lock does NOT protect against
multiple writers, specifically that reading the Physical ID entry in
avic_vcpu_put() outside of the lock is safe.
To preserve some semblance of independence from ir_list_lock, keep the
READ_ONCE() in avic_vcpu_load() even though acuiring the spinlock
effectively ensures the load(s) will be generated after acquiring the
lock.
