Merge tag 'kvm-ppc-fixes-5.2-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into kvm-master
PPC KVM fixes for 5.2 - Several bug fixes for the new XIVE-native code. - Replace kvm->lock by other mutexes in several places where we hold a vcpu mutex, to avoid lock order inversions. - Fix a lockdep warning on guest entry for radix-mode guests. - Fix a bug causing user-visible corruption of SPRG3 on the host.
