I don't quite understand your logic. Let us assume matrix_mdev was freed,
but vcpu->kvm->arch.crypto.pqap_hook still points to what used to be
(*matrix_mdev).pqap_hook. In that case the function pointer
vcpu->kvm->arch.crypto.pqap_hook->hook is used after it was freed, and
may not point to the handle_pqap() function in vfio_ap_ops.c, thus the
check you are referring to ain't necessarily relevant. Than is
if you mean the check in the  handle_pqap() function in vfio_ap_ops.c; if
you mean the check in handle_pqap() in arch/s390/kvm/priv.c, that one is
not done under the matrix_dev->lock. Or do I have a hole somewhere in my
reasoning?
