Commit 8117ac6a ("powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering
nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode", 2014-12-10) fixed a race condition where one
thread entering a KVM guest could switch the MMU context to the guest
while another thread was still in host kernel context with the MMU on.
That commit moved the point where a thread entering a power-saving
mode set its kvm_hstate.hwthread_state field in its PACA to
KVM_HWTHREAD_IN_IDLE from a point where the MMU was on to after the
MMU had been switched off.  That commit also added a comment
explaining that we have to switch to real mode before setting
hwthread_state to avoid this race.

Nevertheless, commit 4eae2c9a ("powerpc/powernv: Make
pnv_powersave_common more generic", 2016-07-08) subsequently moved
the setting of hwthread_state back to a point where the MMU is on,
thus reintroducing the race, despite the comment saying that this
should not be done being included in full in the context lines of
the patch that did it.

This fixes the race again and adds a bigger and shoutier comment
explaining the potential race condition.

Fixes: 4eae2c9a
