The srcu read lock must be held while accessing memslots (e.g.
when using gfn_to_* functions), however, commit c24ae0dcd3e8
("kvm: x86: Unpin and remove kvm_arch->apic_access_page") call
gfn_to_page() in kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page() w/o hold it in
vmx_vcpu_reset() path which leads to suspicious rcu_dereference_check()
usage warning. This patch fix it by holding srcu read lock in all
kvm_vcpu_reset() call path.

v3 -> v4:
* bypass the problem altoghter by kvm_make_request
v2 -> v3:
* take care all vmx_vcpu_reset call path
v1 -> v2:
* just fix hold the srcu read lock in vmx_vcpu_reset path
