commit f00327731131 ("KVM: arm64: Use config_lock to protect vgic
state") was meant to rectify a longstanding lock ordering issue in KVM
where the kvm->lock is taken while holding vcpu->mutex. As it so
happens, the aforementioned commit introduced yet another locking issue
by acquiring the its_lock before acquiring the config lock.
This is obviously wrong, especially considering that the lock ordering
is well documented in vgic.c. Reshuffle the locks once more to take the
config_lock before the its_lock. While at it, sprinkle in the lockdep
hinting that has become popular as of late to keep lockdep apprised of
our ordering.

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.
