Subject[PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Handle hva aging while destroying the vm
Date
If we want to age an HVA while the VM is getting destroyed, we have a
tiny race window during which we may end up dereferencing an invalid
kvm->arch.pgd value.

CPU0 CPU1

kvm_age_hva()
kvm_mmu_notifier_release()
kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all()
kvm_free_stage2_pgd()
<grab mmu_lock>
stage2_get_pmd()
<wait for mmu_lock>
set kvm->arch.pgd = 0
<free mmu_lock>
<grab mmu_lock>
stage2_get_pud()
<access kvm->arch.pgd>
<use incorrect value>

This patch adds a check for that case.
