Subject: [PATCH 3.2 064/110] KVM: x86: make vapics_in_nmi_mode atomic

3.2.71-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@...hat.com>

commit 42720138b06301cc8a7ee8a495a6d021c4b6a9bc upstream.

Writes were a bit racy, but hard to turn into a bug at the same time.
(Particularly because modern Linux doesn't use this feature anymore.)

Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@...hat.com>
[Actually the next patch makes it much, much easier to trigger the race
 so I'm including this one for stable@ as well. - Paolo]

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: adjust context]
