mmu_lock protects the count, kvm->srcu protects the slot, and shadow_root_allocated
protects that validity of gfn_track, i.e. shadow_root_allocated ensures that KVM
allocates gfn_track for all memslots when shadow paging is activated.
The cleanup series I'm prepping adds lockdep assertions for the relevant paths, e.g.
$ git grep -B 8 -E "update_gfn_write_track.*;"
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-void __kvm_write_track_add_gfn(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_memory_slot *slot,
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- gfn_t gfn)
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-{
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- lockdep_assert_held_write(&kvm->mmu_lock);
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- if (KVM_BUG_ON(!kvm_page_track_write_tracking_enabled(kvm), kvm))
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- return;
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-
arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c: update_gfn_write_track(slot, gfn, 1);
