Merge branch 'kvm-ppc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc
This fix was intended for 4.13, but didn't get in because both
maintainers were on vacation.
Paul Mackerras:
"It adds mutual exclusion between list_add_rcu and list_del_rcu calls
on the kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables list. Without this, userspace could
potentially trigger corruption of the list and cause a host crash or
worse."
