Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SEV: Add lock subtyping in sev_lock_two_vms so lockdep doesn't report false dependencies

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

Both source and dest vms' kvm->locks are held in sev_lock_two_vms, 
we should mark one with different subtype to avoid false positives 
from lockdep.

Fixes: c9d61dcb0bc26 (KVM: SEV: accept signals in sev_lock_two_vms)
