[PATCH 5/6] kvm: Serialize wq active checks in kvm_vcpu_wake_up()

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Tue Sep 05 2017 - 15:02:03 EST


This is a generic call and can be suceptible to races
in reading the wq task_list while another task is adding
itself to the list. Add a full barrier by using the
swq_has_sleeper() helper.
