Mostly looks good except for this...

You need to do those updates before the "out:" label. Otherwise if
this function gets called with !svcpu->in_use (which can happen if
CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled) we would do these updates a second time for
one guest exit. The thing is that kvmppc_copy_from_svcpu() can get
called from kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_pr() if the vcpu task gets preempted
on the way out from the guest before we get to the regular call of
kvmppc_copy_from_svcpu(). It would then get called again when the
task gets to run, but this time it does nothing because svcpu->in_use
is false.
