KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migrationgrafted
Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier. Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

+ * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
+ * jiffies does not notice. A timer is set. When the timer fires, it
+ * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
+ * margin of error. The hangcheck_tick module parameter takes the timer
+ * duration in seconds. The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
+ * margin of error, in seconds. The defaults are 60 seconds for the
+ * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error. IOW, a timer is set
+ * for 60 seconds. When the timer fires, the callback checks the
+ * actual duration that the timer waited. If the duration exceeds the
+ * allotted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
+ * is restarted. A healthy machine will have the duration match the
+ * expected timeout very closely.
