Almost all of the vgic state is VM-scoped but accessed from the context of a vCPU. These accesses were serialized on the kvm->lock which cannot be nested within a vcpu->mutex critical section. Move over the vgic state to using the config_lock. Tweak the lock ordering where necessary to ensure that the config_lock is acquired after the vcpu->mutex. Acquire the config_lock in kvm_vgic_create() to avoid a race between the converted flows and GIC creation. Where necessary, continue to acquire kvm->lock to avoid a race with vCPU creation (i.e. flows that use lock_all_vcpus()). Finally, promote the locking expectations in comments to lockdep assertions and update the locking documentation for the config_lock as well as vcpu->mutex.
