hisi_acc_vfio_pci: Remove the deferred_reset logic

Browse source

The deferred_reset logic was added to vfio migration drivers to prevent
a circular locking dependency with respect to mm_lock and state mutex.
This is mainly because of the copy_to/from_user() functions(which takes
mm_lock) invoked under state mutex. But for HiSilicon driver, the only
place where we now hold the state mutex for copy_to_user is during the
PRE_COPY IOCTL. So for pre_copy, release the lock as soon as we have
updated the data and perform copy_to_user without state mutex. By this,
we can get rid of the deferred_reset logic.
