[patch uq/master 5/9] kvm: synchronize state from cpu context

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>

It is not safe to retrieve the KVM internal state of a given cpu
while its potentially modifying it.

Queue the request to run on cpu context, similarly to qemu-kvm.
