We are about to distinguish between userspace accesses and mmio traps
for a number of the mmio handlers.  When the requester vcpu is NULL, it
mens we are handling a userspace acccess.

Factor out the functionality to get the request vcpu into its own
function, mostly so we have a common place to document the semantics of
the return value.

Also take the chance to move the functionality outside of holding a
spinlock and instead explicitly disable and enable preemption.  This
supports PREEMPT_RT kernels as well.

This comment left me scratching my head a bit. Maybe you could change it
to point out that ... it's safe to *enable* preemption after the call
again, because of said reasons? Because disabling preemption before
accessing a per-CPU variable is not really an issue.

Apart from that it's fine.
