Currently the HV KVM code takes the kvm->lock around calls to kvm_for_each_vcpu() and kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() (which can call kvm_for_each_vcpu() internally). However, that leads to a lock order inversion problem, because these are called in contexts where the vcpu mutex is held, but the vcpu mutexes nest within kvm->lock according to Documentation/virtual/kvm/locking.txt. Hence there is a possibility of deadlock. To fix this, we simply don't take the kvm->lock mutex around these calls. This is safe because the implementations of kvm_for_each_vcpu() and kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() have been designed to be able to be called locklessly.
