    ms/KVM: hyperv: idr_find needs RCU protection
    
    Even though the eventfd is released after the KVM SRCU grace period
    elapses, the conn_to_evt data structure itself is not; it uses RCU
    internally, instead.  Fix the read-side critical section to happen
    under rcu_read_lock/unlock; the result is still protected by
    vcpu->kvm->srcu.
