CVE-2024-53195

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: arm64: Get rid of userspace_irqchip_in_use

Improper use of userspace_irqchip_in_use led to syzbot hitting the
following WARN_ON() in kvm_timer_update_irq():

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3281 at arch/arm64/kvm/arch_timer.c:459

The following sequence led to the scenario:
 - Userspace creates a VM and a vCPU.
 - The vCPU is initialized with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3 during
   KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
 - Without any other setup, such as vGIC or vPMU, userspace issues
   KVM_RUN on the vCPU. Since the vPMU is requested, but not setup,
   kvm_arm_pmu_v3_enable() fails in kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change().
   As a result, KVM_RUN returns after enabling the timer, but before
   incrementing 'userspace_irqchip_in_use':
   kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change()
       ret = kvm_arm_pmu_v3_enable()
           if (!vcpu->arch.pmu.created)
               return -EINVAL;
       if (ret)
           return ret;
       [...]
       if (!irqchip_in_kernel(kvm))
           static_branch_inc(&userspace_irqchip_in_use);
 - Userspace ignores the error and issues KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT again.
   Since the timer is already enabled, control moves through the
   following flow, ultimately hitting the WARN_ON():
   kvm_timer_vcpu_reset()
       if (timer->enabled)
          kvm_timer_update_irq()
              if (!userspace_irqchip())
                  ret = kvm_vgic_inject_irq()
                      ret = vgic_lazy_init()
                          if (unlikely(!vgic_initialized(kvm)))
                              if (kvm->arch.vgic.vgic_model !=
                                  KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2)
                                      return -EBUSY;
                  WARN_ON(ret);

Theoretically, since userspace_irqchip_in_use's functionality can be
simply replaced by '!irqchip_in_kernel()', get rid of the static key
to avoid the mismanagement, which also helps with the syzbot issue.
