KVM: arm64: Avoid lock inversion when setting the VM register width
commit c43120afb5c66a3465c7468f5cf9806a26484cde upstream.

kvm->lock must be taken outside of the vcpu->mutex. Of course, the
locking documentation for KVM makes this abundantly clear. Nonetheless,
the locking order in KVM/arm64 has been wrong for quite a while; we
acquire the kvm->lock while holding the vcpu->mutex all over the shop.

All was seemingly fine until commit 42a90008f890 ("KVM: Ensure lockdep
knows about kvm->lock vs. vcpu->mutex ordering rule") caught us with our
pants down, leading to lockdep barfing:

 ======================================================
 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 6.2.0-rc7+ #19 Not tainted
 ------------------------------------------------------
 qemu-system-aar/859 is trying to acquire lock:
 ffff5aa69269eba0 (&host_kvm->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_reset_vcpu+0x34/0x274

 but task is already holding lock:
 ffff5aa68768c0b8 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x8c/0xba0

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

Add a dedicated lock to serialize writes to VM-scoped configuration from
the context of a vCPU. Protect the register width flags with the new
lock, thus avoiding the need to grab the kvm->lock while holding
vcpu->mutex in kvm_reset_vcpu().
