KVM: Fix a race condition for usage of is_hwpoison_address()
is_hwpoison_address accesses the page table, so the caller must hold current->mm->mmap_sem in read mode. So fix its usage in hva_to_pfn of kvm accordingly. Comment is_hwpoison_address to remind other users. Reported-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
