There's another scenario that we already hold srcu before call 
kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page(),

__vcpu_run()
    |
    + vcpu->srcu_idx = srcu_read_lock(&kvm->srcu);
    + r = vcpu_enter_guest(vcpu);
        |
        + kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page(vcpu);

So according to backtrace I think we should fix as follows:

kvm: x86: vmx: hold kvm->srcu while reload apic access page

kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page() needs to access memslots via
gfn_to_page(), so its necessary to hold kvm->srcu.
