From: Ignacio Alvarado <ikalvarado@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1650b4ebc99da4c137bfbfc531be4a2405f951dd upstream. Function user_notifier_unregister should be called only once for each registered user notifier. Function kvm_arch_hardware_disable can be executed from an IPI context which could cause a race condition with a VCPU returning to user mode and attempting to unregister the notifier.
