kvm->srcu is taken in KVM_RUN and several other vCPU ioctls, therefore vcpu->mutex is susceptible to the same deadlock that is documented for kvm->slots_lock. The same holds for kvm->lock, since kvm->lock is held outside vcpu->mutex. Fix the documentation and rearrange it to highlight the difference between these locks and kvm->slots_arch_lock, and how kvm->slots_arch_lock can be useful while processing a vmexit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
