kvmppc_init_hostwide() builds the hostwide L0-stats guest-state message and
buffer with kvmppc_gsm_new() and kvmppc_gsb_new() while holding
lock_l0_stats, which is taken with spin_lock_irqsave(). Both helpers
allocate with GFP_KERNEL (and kvmppc_gsb_new() does a further GFP_KERNEL
allocation internally), so they can sleep in atomic context, triggering
"BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" under
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP.

lock_l0_stats is a spinlock because it also serializes the PMU ->read path
(kvmppc_pmu_event_update()), so it cannot be turned into a mutex. Build the
message and buffer in local variables outside the lock and only take the
lock to publish them, rechecking for a concurrent registration.
