This is a continuation of my 'extract lock_all_vcpus/unlock_all_vcpus'
patch series.
Implement the suggestion of using lockdep's "nest_lock" feature
when locking all KVM vCPUs by adding mutex_trylock_nest_lock() and
mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock() and use these functions in the
implementation of the
kvm_trylock_all_vcpus()/kvm_lock_all_vcpus()/kvm_unlock_all_vcpus().
Those changes allow removal of a custom workaround that was needed to
silence the lockdep warning in the SEV code and also stop lockdep from
complaining in case of ARM and RISC-V code which doesn't include the above
mentioned workaround.
Finally, it's worth noting that this patch series removes a fair
amount of duplicate code by implementing the logic in one place.
Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
