Avi Kivity daea3e73cb KVM: Make locked operations truly atomic 
Once upon a time, locked operations were emulated while holding the mmu mutex.
Since mmu pages were write protected, it was safe to emulate the writes in
a non-atomic manner, since there could be no other writer, either in the
guest or in the kernel.

These days emulation takes place without holding the mmu spinlock, so the
write could be preempted by an unshadowing event, which exposes the page
to writes by the guest.  This may cause corruption of guest page tables.

Fix by using an atomic cmpxchg for these operations.
