Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86/pmu: Protect kvm->arch.pmu_event_filter with SRCU

From: Like Xu <likexu@...cent.com>

Fix the following positive warning:

 =============================
 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c:190 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
 other info that might help us debug this:
 rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
 1 lock held by CPU 28/KVM/370841:
 #0: ff11004089f280b8 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x87/0x730 [kvm]
 Call Trace:

It's possible to call KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER ioctl with the vCPU running.
Similar to "kvm->arch.msr_filter", KVM should guarantee that vCPUs will
see either the previous filter or the new filter so that guest pmu events
with identical settings in both the old and new filter have deterministic
behavior.
