When triggering KVM_RUN without a user memory region being mapped
(KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION) a validity intercept occurs. This could
happen, if the user memory region was not mapped initially or if it
was unmapped after the vcpu is initialized. The function
kvm_s390_handle_requests checks for the KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD bit. The
check function always clears this bit. If gmap_mprotect_notify
returns an error code, the mapping failed, but the KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD
was not set anymore. So the next time kvm_s390_handle_requests is
called, the execution would fall trough the check for
KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD. The bit needs to be resetted, if
gmap_mprotect_notify returns an error code. Resetting the bit with
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD, vcpu) fixes the bug.
