Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: s390: pci: use asyncronous kvm put

It's possible that the kvm refcount will reach 0 at this point while the
associated device is still in kvm device list - this would result in a
deadlock on the vfio group lock.  Avoid this possibility by using
kvm_put_kvm_async to do the kvm_destroy_vm asynchronously.

Fixes: 09340b2fca00 ("KVM: s390: pci: add routines to start/stop interpretive execution")
