Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Move the lockdep_assert of mmu_lock to inside clear_dirty_pt_masked()

From: Like Xu <likexu@...cent.com>

Move the lockdep_assert_held_write(&kvm->mmu_lock) from the only one caller
kvm_tdp_mmu_clear_dirty_pt_masked() to inside clear_dirty_pt_masked().

This change makes it more obvious why it's safe for clear_dirty_pt_masked()
to use the non-atomic (for non-volatile SPTEs) tdp_mmu_clear_spte_bits()
helper. for_each_tdp_mmu_root() does its own lockdep, so the only "loss"
in lockdep coverage is if the list is completely empty.
