Subject: arm/arm64: KVM: Take mmap_sem in stage2_unmap_vm
From: Marc Zyngier <[email protected]>
commit 90f6e150e44a0dc3883110eeb3ab35d1be42b6bb upstream.
We don't hold the mmap_sem while searching for the VMAs when we try to unmap each memslot for a VM. Fix this properly to avoid unexpected results.
