[ Upstream commit 6a0c61703e3a5d67845a4b275e1d9d7bc1b5aad7 ]

Fix the following false positive warning:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.16.0-rc4+ #57 Not tainted
-----------------------------
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/eventfd.c:484 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
3 locks held by fc_vcpu 0/330:
#0: ffff8884835fc0b0 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x88/0x6f0 [kvm]
#1: ffffc90004c0bb68 (&kvm->srcu){....}-{0:0}, at: vcpu_enter_guest+0x600/0x1860 [kvm]
#2: ffffc90004c0c1d0 (&kvm->irq_srcu){....}-{0:0}, at: kvm_notify_acked_irq+0x36/0x180 [kvm]

Since kvm_unregister_irq_ack_notifier() does synchronize_srcu(&kvm->irq_srcu),
kvm->irq_ack_notifier_list is protected by kvm->irq_srcu. In fact,
kvm->irq_srcu SRCU read lock is held in kvm_notify_acked_irq(), making it
a false positive warning. So use hlist_for_each_entry_srcu() instead of
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu().
