#1462286 — [PATCH 3.16 236/305] KVM: arm/arm64: Stop leaking vcpu pid references

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com>

commit 591d215afcc2f94e8e2c69a63c924c044677eb31 upstream.

kvm provides kvm_vcpu_uninit(), which amongst other things, releases the
last reference to the struct pid of the task that was last running the vcpu.

On arm64 built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK, starting a guest with kvmtool,
then killing it with SIGKILL results (after some considerable time) in:
> cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
> unreferenced object 0xffff80007d5ea080 (size 128):
>  comm "lkvm", pid 2025, jiffies 4294942645 (age 1107.776s)
>  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

On x86 kvm_vcpu_uninit() is called on the path from kvm_arch_destroy_vm(),
on arm no equivalent call is made. Add the call to kvm_arch_vcpu_free().
