Enter a SRCU critical section for a memslots lookup during steal time update if and only if a steal time update is actually needed. Taking the lock can be avoided if steal time is disabled by the guest, or if KVM knows it has already flagged the vCPU as being preempted. Reword the comment to be more precise as to exactly why memslots will be queried.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
