In kvm_free_stage2_pgd() we don't hold the kvm->mmu_lock while calling unmap_stage2_range() on the entire memory range for the guest. This could cause problems with other callers (e.g, munmap on a memslot) trying to unmap a range. And since we have to unmap the entire Guest memory range holding a spinlock, make sure we yield the lock if necessary, after we unmap each PUD range.
