This happened when the host hit a page fault, and delivered it as in an
async page fault, while the guest was in an RCU read-side critical
section.  The guest then tries to reschedule in kvm_async_pf_task_wait(),
but rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() would treat the reschedule as a
sleep in RCU read-side critical section, which is not allowed (even in
preemptible RCU).  Thus the WARN.

To cure this, make kvm_async_pf_task_wait() go to the halt path if the
PF happens in a RCU read-side critical section.
