Revision v3 of 3 in this series.

Revisions (3)
  1. v1 [diff vs current]
  2. v2 [diff vs current]
  3. v3 current
This series contains the fixes for synchronization and initializations
bugs in the KVM HV code.

Patch 1: Fix for concurrent calls to idr_alloc

Patch 2: Initialize the arch.irq_type correctly for cleanup to work

Patch 3: In the cleanup function, add a check to avoid NULL ptr
dereference.

Patch 4: Add a srcu lock to fix "suspicious usage of
         rcu_dereference_check" usage.

v2 -> v3:
1. Patch 1: Correct the patch description to reflect the code changes.
2. Patch 3: Add stable and fixes tags
3. Patch 4: Use srcu_read_{unlock,lock} instead of their kvm_vcpu*
             variants.

v1 -> v2:
1. Patch 2 : Avoid NULL pointer dereference when calling
kvmppc_xive_cleanup_vcpu(). Split this in a separate patch
