KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make tbacct_lock irq-safe
Lockdep reported that there is a potential for deadlock because
vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock is not irq-safe, and is sometimes taken inside
the rq_lock (run-queue lock) in the scheduler, which is taken within
interrupts. The lockdep splat looks like:
======================================================
[ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]
3.12.0-rc5-kvm+ #8 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
qemu-system-ppc/4803 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:
(&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<c0000000000947ac>] .kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_hv+0x2c/0xa0
and this task is already holding:
(&rq->lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<c000000000ac16c0>] .__schedule+0x180/0xaa0
which would create a new lock dependency:
(&rq->lock){-.-.-.} -> (&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){+.+...}
but this new dependency connects a HARDIRQ-irq-safe lock:
(&rq->lock){-.-.-.}
... which became HARDIRQ-irq-safe at:

Some users have reported this deadlock occurring in practice, though
the reports have been primarily on 3.10.x-based kernels.
This fixes the problem by making tbacct_lock be irq-safe.
