KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Introduce a new mutex for the XIVE device
The XICS-on-XIVE KVM device needs to allocate XIVE event queues when a priority is used by the OS. This is referred as EQ provisioning and it is done under the hood when : 1. a CPU is hot-plugged in the VM 2. the "set-xive" is called at VM startup 3. sources are restored at VM restore The kvm->lock mutex is used to protect the different XIVE structures being modified but in some contexts, kvm->lock is taken under the vcpu->mutex which is not permitted by the KVM locking rules. Introduce a new mutex 'lock' for the KVM devices for them to synchronize accesses to the XIVE device structures.
