KVM: x86: fix deadlock for KVM_XEN_EVTCHN_RESET
While KVM_XEN_EVTCHN_RESET is usually called with no vCPUs running, if that happened it could cause a deadlock. This is due to kvm_xen_eventfd_reset() doing a synchronize_srcu() inside a kvm->lock critical section. To avoid this, first collect all the evtchnfd objects in an array and free all of them once the kvm->lock critical section is over and th SRCU grace period has expired.
