KVM: Fix kvm_vcpu_block() task state race
There's still a race in kvm_vcpu_block(), if a wake_up_interruptible()
call happens before the task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE:
CPU0 CPU1
kvm_vcpu_block
add_wait_queue
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt = 0
set interrupt
if (waitqueue_active())
wake_up_interruptible()
kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable
signal_pending
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
schedule()
Can be fixed by using prepare_to_wait() which sets the task state before
testing for the wait condition.
