This is basically boolean, right? And we only make it 'int' to be able
to store 'u8' from the ioctl? This doesn't look very clean. Do you
envision anything but '1'/'0' in 'inhibit'? If not, maybe we can just
make it a flag (and e.g. extend 'flags' to be u32/u64)? This way we can
convert 'tlb_flush_inhibit' to a normal bool.

These READ_ONCEs make me think I misunderstand something here, please
bear with me :-).

Like we're trying to protect against 'tlb_flush_inhibit' being read
somewhere in the beginning of the function and want to generate real
memory accesses. But what happens if tlb_flush_inhibit changes right
_after_ we checked it here and _before_ we actuall do
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask()? Wouldn't it be a problem? In case it
would, I think we need to reverse the order: do
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() anyway and after it go through vcpu_mask
checking whether any of the affected vCPUs has 'tlb_flush_inhibit' and
if it does, suspend the caller.

As you say before, vCPU ioctls are serialized and noone else sets
tlb_flush_inhibit, do I understand correctly that
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() are redundant here?
