[PATCH 4.14 072/104] x86/kvm: Serialize L1D flush parameter setter

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd4bfa739a72508b75760b393d129ed7b431daab upstream

Writes to the parameter files are not serialized at the sysfs core
level, so local serialization is required.
