Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - Fixes for Xen emulation. While nobody should be enabling it in the
     kernel (the only public users of the feature are the selftests),
     the bug effectively allows userspace to read arbitrary memory.

   - Correctness fixes for nested hypervisors that do not intercept INIT
     or SHUTDOWN on AMD; the subsequent CPU reset can cause a
     use-after-free when it disables virtualization extensions. While
     downgrading the panic to a WARN is quite easy, the full fix is a
     bit more laborious; there are also tests. This is the bulk of the
     pull request.

   - Fix race condition due to incorrect mmu_lock use around
     make_mmu_pages_available().

  Generic:

   - Obey changes to the kvm.halt_poll_ns module parameter in VMs not
     using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL, restoring behavior from before the
     introduction of the capability"
