Will Deacon a344e258ac KVM: arm64: Use acquire/release to communicate FF-A version negotiation
The pKVM FF-A proxy rejects FF-A requests other than FFA_VERSION until
version negotiation is complete, which is signalled by setting the
global 'has_version_negotiated' variable.

To avoid excessive locking, this variable is checked directly from
kvm_host_ffa_handler() in response to an FF-A call, but this can race
against another CPU performing the negotiation and potentially lead to
reading a torn value (incredibly unlikely for a 'bool') or problematic
re-ordering of the accesses to 'has_version_negotiated' and
'hyp_ffa_version' whereby a stale version number could be read by
__do_ffa_mem_xfer().

Use acquire/release primitives when writing 'has_version_negotiated'
with the version lock held and when reading without the lock held.
