Oops, sorry. I was obviously thinking about QEMU's atomic helpers.

IMHO the more obvious correct version could be unconditionally setting
lru_slot to something invalid (e.g. -1) in kvm_dup_memslots(), then in
the two search_memslots() skip the cache if lru_slot is invalid.
That's IMHO easier to understand than the "!slots->used_slots" checks.
But I've no strong opinion.
