[PATCH kernel] KVM: PPC: Protect kvmppc_gpa_to_ua() with srcu

kvmppc_gpa_to_ua() accesses KVM memory slot array via
srcu_dereference_check() and this produces warnings from RCU like below.

This extends the existing srcu_read_lock/unlock to cover that
kvmppc_gpa_to_ua() as well.

We did not hit this before as this lock is not needed for the realmode
handlers and hash guests would use the realmode path all the time;
however the radix guests are always redirected to the virtual mode
handlers and hence the warning.
