Nice catch, and many thanks for reporting this.

The bug is fairly obvious. Christoffer, what do you think? I don't think
we need to hold the kvm->lock all the way, but I'd like another pair of
eyes (the coffee machine is out of order again, and tea doesn't cut it).

Thanks,

	M.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Fix deadlock on error handling

Dmitry Vyukov reported that the syzkaller fuzzer triggered a
deadlock in the vgic setup code when an error was detected, as
the cleanup code tries to take a lock that is already held by
the setup code.

The fix is pretty obvious: move the cleaup call after having
dropped the lock, since not much can happen at that point.
