KVM: eventfd: Fix false positive RCU usage warning
[ Upstream commit 6a0c61703e3a5d67845a4b275e1d9d7bc1b5aad7 ]
Fix the following false positive warning:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.16.0-rc4+ #57 Not tainted
-----------------------------
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/eventfd.c:484 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1

Since kvm_unregister_irq_ack_notifier() does synchronize_srcu(&kvm->irq_srcu),
kvm->irq_ack_notifier_list is protected by kvm->irq_srcu. In fact,
kvm->irq_srcu SRCU read lock is held in kvm_notify_acked_irq(), making it
a false positive warning. So use hlist_for_each_entry_srcu() instead of
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu().
