[PATCH 6/7] kvm,powerpc: Serialize wq active checks in ops->vcpu_kick

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Wed Sep 13 2017 - 16:08:51 EST


Particularly because kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv() is a callback,
ensure that we properly serialize wq active checks in order to
avoid potentially missing a wakeup due to racing with the waiter
side.
