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.
