[PATCH v3 3/4] KVM: arm64: Use config_lock to protect data ordered against KVM_RUN

There are various bits of VM-scoped data that can only be configured
before the first call to KVM_RUN, such as the hypercall bitmaps and
the PMU. As these fields are protected by the kvm->lock and accessed
while holding vcpu->mutex, this is yet another example of lock
inversion.

Change out the kvm->lock for kvm->arch.config_lock in all of these
instances. Opportunistically simplify the locking mechanics of the
PMU configuration by holding the config_lock for the entirety of
kvm_arm_pmu_v3_set_attr().

Note that this also addresses a couple of bugs. There is an unguarded
read of the PMU version in KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER which could race
with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_PMU. Additionally, until now writes to the
per-vCPU vPMU irq were not serialized VM-wide, meaning concurrent calls
to KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ could lead to a false positive in
pmu_irq_is_valid().
