    x86/vpt: fix race when migrating timers between vCPUs
    
    The current vPT code will migrate the emulated timers between vCPUs
    (change the pt->vcpu field) while just holding the destination lock,
    either from create_periodic_time or pt_adjust_global_vcpu_target if
    the global target is adjusted. Changing the periodic_timer vCPU field
    in this way creates a race where a third party could grab the lock in
    the unlocked region of pt_adjust_global_vcpu_target (or before
    create_periodic_time performs the vcpu change) and then release the
    lock from a different vCPU, creating a locking imbalance.
    
    Introduce a per-domain rwlock in order to protect periodic_time
    migration between vCPU lists. Taking the lock in read mode prevents
    any timer from being migrated to a different vCPU, while taking it in
    write mode allows performing migration of timers across vCPUs. The
    per-vcpu locks are still used to protect all the other fields from the
    periodic_timer struct.
    
    Note that such migration shouldn't happen frequently, and hence
    there's no performance drop as a result of such locking.
    
    This is XSA-336.
