If there is a bug in a piece of code it is certainly a good idea to look deeper....
I think we can prevent both bugs by something like

diff --git a/arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c b/arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c
index 8951ad4d33be..6ee12afced5a 100644

        if (kvm->arch.use_cmma) {
                kvm_s390_sync_request_broadcast(kvm, KVM_REQ_STOP_MIGRATION);
+               synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu);
                vfree(mgs->pgste_bitmap);
        }
        kfree(mgs);


Need to have a look.
