KVM: SVM: Guard against DEACTIVATE when performing WBINVD/DF_FLUSH
The SEV firmware DEACTIVATE command disassociates an SEV guest from an ASID, clears the WBINVD indicator on all threads and indicates that the SEV firmware DF_FLUSH command must be issued before the ASID can be re-used. The SEV firmware DF_FLUSH command will return an error if a WBINVD has not been performed on every thread before it has been invoked. A window exists between the WBINVD and the invocation of the DF_FLUSH command where an SEV firmware DEACTIVATE command could be invoked on another thread, clearing the WBINVD indicator. This will cause the subsequent SEV firmware DF_FLUSH command to fail which, in turn, results in the SEV firmware ACTIVATE command failing for the reclaimed ASID. This results in the SEV guest failing to start. Use a mutex to close the WBINVD/DF_FLUSH window by obtaining the mutex before the DEACTIVATE and releasing it after the DF_FLUSH. This ensures that any DEACTIVATE cannot run before a DF_FLUSH has completed.
