We recently moved the teardown of the vgic part of a vcpu inside
a critical section guarded by the config_lock. This teardown phase
involves calling into kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev(), which takes the
kvm->srcu lock.
However, this violates the established order where kvm->srcu is
taken on a memory fault (such as an MMIO access), possibly
followed by taking the config_lock if the GIC emulation requires
mutual exclusion from the other vcpus.
It therefore results in a bad lockdep splat, as reported by Zenghui.
Fix this by moving the call to kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev() outside
of the config_lock critical section. At this stage, there shouln't
be any need to hold the config_lock.
As an additional bonus, document the ordering between kvm->slots_lock,
kvm->srcu and kvm->arch.config_lock so that I cannot pretend I didn't
know about those anymore.

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 reStructuredText 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.
