This happened when the host hit a page fault, and delivered it as in an
async page fault, while the guest was in an RCU read-side critical
section. The guest then tries to reschedule in kvm_async_pf_task_wait(),
but rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() would treat the reschedule as a
sleep in RCU read-side critical section, which is not allowed (even in
preemptible RCU). Thus the WARN.
To cure this, we need to make kvm_async_pf_task_wait() go to the halt
path(instead of the schedule path) if the PF happens in a RCU read-side
critical section.
In PREEMPT=y kernel, this is simple, as we record current RCU read-side
critical section nested level in rcu_preempt_depth(). But for PREEMPT=n
kernel rcu_read_lock/unlock() may be no-ops, so we don't whether we are
in a RCU read-side critical section or not. We resolve this by always
choosing the halt path in PREEMPT=n kernel unless the guest gets the
async PF while running in user mode.

v1 --> v2:
* Add more accurate explanation of async PF from Paolo in the
commit message.
* Extend the kvm_async_pf_task_wait() to have a second parameter
@user to indicate whether the fault happens while a user program
running the guest.
Wanpeng, the callsite of kvm_async_pf_task_wait() in
kvm_handle_page_fault() is for nested scenario, right? I take it we
should handle it as if the fault happens when l1 guest is running in
kernel mode, so @user should be 0, right?
