[GIT PULL v1 22/23] KVM: s390: Fix ordering when adding to SCA

Message-ID <[email protected]>
When adding a new vCPU to the SCA area, the validity bit in the MCN was
set before the pointer to the state description, potentially allowing
for a race.

Fix by setting the pointer before setting the bit.
