KVM: s390: Fix potential crash in preemptible kernels
There is a potential race for preemptible kernels, where
the host kernel would get a fault when it is preempted as
the wrong point in time.
KVM: s390: fix guarded storage control register handling
store_regs_fmt2() has an ordering problem: first the guarded storage
facility is enabled on the local cpu, then preemption disabled, and
then the STGSC (store guarded storage controls) instruction is
executed.
If the process gets scheduled away between enabling the guarded
storage facility and before preemption is disabled, this might lead to
a special operation exception and therefore kernel crash as soon as
the process is scheduled back and the STGSC instruction is executed.
