Christoffer Dall accb99bcd0 KVM: arm/arm64: Simplify bg_timer programming
Instead of calling into kvm_timer_[un]schedule from the main kvm
blocking path, test if the VCPU is on the wait queue from the load/put
path and perform the background timer setup/cancel in this path.

This has the distinct advantage that we no longer race between load/put
and schedule/unschedule and programming and canceling of the bg_timer
always happens when the timer state is not loaded.

Note that we must now remove the checks in kvm_timer_blocking that do
not schedule a background timer if one of the timers can fire, because
we no longer have a guarantee that kvm_vcpu_check_block() will be called
before kvm_timer_blocking.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
