Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Add SRCU protection for reading PDPTRs in
 __get_sregs2()

Add SRCU read-side protection when reading PDPTR registers in
__get_sregs2().

Reading PDPTRs may trigger access to guest memory:
kvm_pdptr_read() -> svm_cache_reg() -> load_pdptrs() ->
kvm_vcpu_read_guest_page() -> kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot()

kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() dereferences memslots via __kvm_memslots(),
which uses srcu_dereference_check() and requires either kvm->srcu or
kvm->slots_lock to be held. Currently only vcpu->mutex is held,
triggering lockdep warning:

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage in kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot
6.12.59+ #3 Not tainted

include/linux/kvm_host.h:1062 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by syz.5.1717/15100:
 #0: ff1100002f4b00b0 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x1d5/0x1590
