s390/vfio-ap: replace open coded locks for VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notification
It was pointed out during an unrelated patch review that locks should not be open coded - i.e., writing the algorithm of a standard lock in a function instead of using a lock from the standard library. The setting and testing of a busy flag and sleeping on a wait_event is the same thing a lock does. The open coded locks are invisible to lockdep, so potential locking problems are not detected. This patch removes the open coded locks used during VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notification. The busy flag and wait queue were introduced to resolve a possible circular locking dependency reported by lockdep when starting a secure execution guest configured with AP adapters and domains. Reversing the order in which the kvm->lock mutex and matrix_dev->lock mutex are locked resolves the issue reported by lockdep, thus enabling the removal of the open coded locks.
