Subject: [PATCH 5.14 503/849] KVM: s390: pv: avoid stalls for kvm_s390_pv_init_vm

From: Claudio Imbrenda <imbrenda@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 1e2aa46de526a5adafe580bca4c25856bb06f09e ]

When the system is heavily overcommitted, kvm_s390_pv_init_vm might
generate stall notifications.

Fix this by using uv_call_sched instead of just uv_call. This is ok because
we are not holding spinlocks.
