KVM: Rework VCPU state writeback API
This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks: - cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete (initial sync from kernel before vmsave) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state (writeback after vmload) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init - cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset (writeback after system reset) These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback: - KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run) - KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped) - KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well) This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way, no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are eliminated. cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems. Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.
