KVM: MMU: Fix torn shadow pte
(cherry picked from commit cd5998ebfbc9e6cb44408efa217c15d7eea13675) The shadow code assigns a pte directly in one place, which is nonatomic on i386 can can cause random memory references. Fix by using an atomic setter. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
