Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] KVM: s390: pv: simplify shutdown and fix race

Simplify the shutdown of non-protected VMs. There is no need to do
complex manipulations of the counter if it was zero.

This also fixes a very rare race which caused pages to be torn down
from the address space with a non-zero counter even on older machines
that don't support the UVC instruction, causing a crash.

Reported-by: Marc Hartmayer <mhartmay@...ux.ibm.com>
Fixes: fb491d5500a7 ("KVM: s390: pv: asynchronous destroy for reboot")
