kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run is already doing srcu_read_lock/unlock in two
places, namely vcpu_run and post_kvm_run_save, and a third is actually
needed around the call to vcpu->arch.complete_userspace_io to avoid
the following splat:
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c:190 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by CPU 28/KVM/370841:
#0: ff11004089f280b8 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x87/0x730 [kvm]
Call Trace:

complete_fast_pio_in+0x8a/0xd0 [kvm]
This splat is not at all unexpected, since complete_userspace_io callbacks
can execute similar code to vmexits. For example, SVM with nrips=false
will call into the emulator from svm_skip_emulated_instruction().
While it's tempting to never acquire kvm->srcu for an uninitialized vCPU,
practically speaking there's no penalty to acquiring kvm->srcu "early"
as the KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED path is a one-time thing per vCPU. On
the other hand, seemingly innocuous helpers like kvm_apic_accept_events()
and sync_regs() can theoretically reach code that might access
SRCU-protected data structures, e.g. sync_regs() can trigger forced
existing of nested mode via kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events().
