KVM: MIPS/T&E: Add lockless GVA access helpers
Add helpers to allow for lockless direct access to the GVA space, by
changing the VCPU mode to READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES for the duration of
the access. This allows asynchronous TLB flush requests in future
patches to safely trigger either a TLB flush before the direct GVA space
access, or a delay until the in-progress lockless direct access is
complete.
The kvm_trap_emul_gva_lockless_begin() and
kvm_trap_emul_gva_lockless_end() helpers take care of guarding the
direct GVA accesses, and kvm_trap_emul_gva_fault() tries to handle a
uaccess fault resulting from a flush having taken place.
