David Matlack 43637ee170 KVM: Prevent module exit until all VMs are freed
commit 5f6de5cbeb upstream.

Tie the lifetime the KVM module to the lifetime of each VM via
kvm.users_count. This way anything that grabs a reference to the VM via
kvm_get_kvm() cannot accidentally outlive the KVM module.

Prior to this commit, the lifetime of the KVM module was tied to the
lifetime of /dev/kvm file descriptors, VM file descriptors, and vCPU
file descriptors by their respective file_operations "owner" field.
This approach is insufficient because references grabbed via
kvm_get_kvm() do not prevent closing any of the aforementioned file
descriptors.

This fixes a long standing theoretical bug in KVM that at least affects
async page faults. kvm_setup_async_pf() grabs a reference via
kvm_get_kvm(), and drops it in an asynchronous work callback. Nothing
prevents the VM file descriptor from being closed and the KVM module
from being unloaded before this callback runs.

Fixes: af585b921e ("KVM: Halt vcpu if page it tries to access is swapped out")
Fixes: 3d3aab1b97 ("KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations")
