KVM correctly serializes writes to a vCPU's reset state, however since we do not take the KVM lock on the read side it is entirely possible to read state from two different reset requests. Cure the race for now by taking the KVM lock when reading the reset_state structure.

nit: "reset_state = vcpu->arch.reset_state;" should do the trick.
+ vcpu->arch.reset_state.reset = false;
We should probably need to upgrade this to a WRITE_ONCE() to match the PSCI side.

Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
