When a poison is consumed on the guest before the guest receives the host's poison creation msg, a corner case may occur to have poison_handler complete processing earlier than it should to cause the guest to hang waiting for the req_bad_pages reply during a VF FLR, resulting in the VM becoming inaccessible in stress tests.
To fix this issue, this patch refactored the mailbox sequence by seperating the bad_page_work into two parts req_bad_pages_work and handle_bad_pages_work.
Old sequence:
1.Stop data exchange work
2.Guest sends MB_REQ_RAS_BAD_PAGES to host and keep polling for IDH_RAS_BAD_PAGES_READY
3.If the IDH_RAS_BAD_PAGES_READY arrives within timeout limit, re-init the data exchange region for updated bad page info
else timeout with error message
New sequence:
req_bad_pages_work:
1.Stop data exhange work
2.Guest sends MB_REQ_RAS_BAD_PAGES to host
Once Guest receives IDH_RAS_BAD_PAGES_READY event
handle_bad_pages_work:
3.re-init the data exchange region for updated bad page info

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 reStructuredText 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.
