Subject: [PATCH 3.13 103/187] KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Take SRCU read lock around RTAS kvm_read_guest() call

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

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

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org>

commit ef1af2e29622ff3403926ae801a2b10da075a2de upstream.

This does for PR KVM what c9438092cae4 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Take SRCU
read lock around kvm_read_guest() call") did for HV KVM, that is,
eliminate a "suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!" warning by
taking the SRCU lock around the call to kvmppc_rtas_hcall().

It also fixes a return of RESUME_HOST to return EMULATE_FAIL instead,
since kvmppc_h_pr() is supposed to return EMULATE_* values.
