Subject: [PATCH v2 06/19] KVM: Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@...el.com>

Because kvm_count_lock unnecessarily complicates the KVM locking convention
Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock for
simplicity.

Opportunistically add some comments on locking.
