[PATCH mm-unstable v2 06/10] kvm/powerpc: make radix page tables RCU safe

[Yu Zhao]

KVM page tables are currently not RCU safe against remapping, i.e.,
kvmppc_unmap_free_pmd_entry_table() et al. The previous
mmu_notifier_ops members rely on kvm->mmu_lock to synchronize with
that operation.

However, the new mmu_notifier_ops member test_clear_young() provides
a fast path that does not take kvm->mmu_lock. To implement
kvm_arch_test_clear_young() for that path, orphan page tables need to
be freed by RCU.

Unmapping, specifically kvm_unmap_radix(), does not free page tables,
hence not a concern.
