Subject: [PATCH v4 07/13] KVM: Just resync arch fields when slots_arch_lock gets reacquired

From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@...cle.com>

There is no need to copy the whole memslot data after releasing
slots_arch_lock for a moment to install temporary memslots copy in
kvm_set_memslot() since this lock only protects the arch field of each
memslot.

Just resync this particular field after reacquiring slots_arch_lock.
