This series addresses a few bug fixes across KVM PPC Book3S HV
locking/synchronization and paired-single instruction decoding:

Patches 1 & 2 fix synchronization and preemption issues introduced in
commit 6165d5dd99db ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: add virtual mode handlers for
HPT hcalls and page faults"):

- Patch 1 adds SRCU read lock protection when walking memslots during
  virtual-mode HPT hcalls to prevent use-after-free races with concurrent
  memslot updates.

- Patch 2 adds preempt_disable() around virtual-mode HPTE bit-lock holders
  and raw spinlock usage to prevent CPU stalls and deadlocks on preemption.

Patch 3 fixes paired-single D-form instruction emulation:

- Patch 3 fixes get_d_signext() to correctly extract the full 12-bit D
  displacement field and perform proper two's-complement sign extension.

Testing:
========
All test kernel builds were compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.
The following scenarios were verified:

1. Power9 PowerNV (L0) in Radix mode:
   - Booted L0 host with kernel containing all 3 patches.
   - Booted KVM guests in both Radix and Hash modes.
   - Ran kernel build workload inside guests — no errors observed.
   - Booted L1 guest with the same kernel — booted and ran cleanly.

2. Power9 PowerNV (L0) in Hash mode:
   - Booted L0 host with kernel containing all 3 patches.
   - Booted KVM guest in Hash mode.
   - Ran kernel build workload inside guest — no errors observed.
   - Booted L1 nested guest with the same kernel — booted and ran cleanly.

3. Power10 LPAR (L1):
   - Booted Power10 LPAR with the patched kernel.
   - Booted KVM guest and ran workloads — no errors observed.
