Nothing prevents the following:
pvclock_gtod_notify()
queue_work(system_long_wq, &pvclock_gtod_work);
...
remove_module(kvm);
...
work_queue_run()
pvclock_gtod_work() <- UAF
Ditto for any other operation on that workqueue list head which touches
pvclock_gtod_work after module removal.
Cancel the work in kvm_arch_exit() to prevent that.
