Hi Ben,

There is a follow up patch for this one to make sure we check/free the PGD under the
mmu_lock.

commit 6c0d706b563af73 ("kvm: arm/arm64: Fix race in resetting stage2 PGD")

So unless you want to fold that in, this looks alright. Looks like we missed a Cc:
stable for that. I will send it to stable soon.

Cheers
Suzuki
