commit 0547758a6de3cc71a0cfdd031a3621a30db6a68b upstream. Drop the raw spinlock in kvm_async_pf_task_wake() before allocating the the dummy async #PF token, the allocator is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT kernels and must not be called from truly atomic contexts. Opportunistically document why it's ok to loop on allocation failure, i.e. why the function won't get stuck in an infinite loop.

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.
