Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kvm: arm/arm64: Fix race in resetting stage2 PGD

In kvm_free_stage2_pgd() we check the stage2 PGD before holding
the lock and proceed to take the lock if it is valid. And we unmap
the page tables, followed by releasing the lock. We reset the PGD
only after dropping this lock, which could cause a race condition
where another thread waiting on or even holding the lock, could
potentially see that the PGD is still valid and proceed to perform
a stage2 operation and later encounter a NULL PGD.
