Oliver Upton b7833bf202 KVM: arm64: Don't acquire RCU read lock for exclusive table walks
Marek reported a BUG resulting from the recent parallel faults changes,
as the hyp stage-1 map walker attempted to allocate table memory while
holding the RCU read lock:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at

Since the hyp stage-1 table walkers are serialized by kvm_hyp_pgd_mutex,
RCU protection really doesn't add anything. Don't acquire the RCU read
lock for an exclusive walk.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
