Subject: [193/200] KVM: MMU: Dont read pdptrs with mmu spinlock held in mmu_alloc_roots

2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Avi Kivity <avi@...hat.com>

On svm, kvm_read_pdptr() may require reading guest memory, which can sleep.

Push the spinlock into mmu_alloc_roots(), and only take it after we've read
the pdptr.
