Subject: [PATCH 4.9 17/18] kvm: arm/arm64: Force reading uncached stage2 PGD

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

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

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@....com>

commit 2952a6070e07ebdd5896f1f5b861acad677caded upstream.

Make sure we don't use a cached value of the KVM stage2 PGD while
resetting the PGD.
