With large and many guest with storage keys it is possible to create
large latencies or stalls during initial key setting:
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 18-....: (2099 ticks this GP) idle=54e/1/0x4000000000000002 softirq=35598716/35598716 fqs=998
(t=2100 jiffies g=155867385 q=20879)
Task dump for CPU 18:
CPU 1/KVM R running task 0 1030947 256019 0x06000004
Call Trace:
sched_show_task
rcu_dump_cpu_stacks
rcu_sched_clock_irq
update_process_times
tick_sched_handle
tick_sched_timer
__hrtimer_run_queues
hrtimer_interrupt
do_IRQ
ext_int_handler
ptep_zap_key
The mmap lock is held during the page walking but since this is a
semaphore scheduling is still possible. Same for the kvm srcu.
To minimize overhead do this on every segment table entry or large page.
