If this function cannot be entered concurrently on separate threads then I think we can
remove this mutex_unlock of matrix_dev->lock, (and the above mutex_lock) All that happens
while holding the lock is the examination of the matrix_mdev->kvm pointer and then the
subsequent examination of matrix_mdev->kvm->arch.crypto.crycbd. And since this function
is the only place that the kvm pointer is NULLed I don't see how the kvm pointer could go
away between the two parts of the conditional. Again, this is only true if this function
cannot be entered concurrently.
