Fix potential races in kvm_psci_vcpu_on() by taking the kvm->lock mutex. In general, it's a bad idea to allow more than one PSCI_CPU_ON to process the same target VCPU at the same time. One such problem that may arise is that one PSCI_CPU_ON could be resetting the target vcpu, which fills the entire sys_regs array with a temporary value including the MPIDR register, while another looks up the VCPU based on the MPIDR value, resulting in no target VCPU found. Resolves both races found with the kvm-unit-tests/arm/psci unit test.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
