Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6] KVM: lockdep improvements

This is	a continuation of my 'extract lock_all_vcpus/unlock_all_vcpus'
patch series.

Implement the suggestion of using lockdep's "nest_lock" feature
when locking all KVM vCPUs by adding mutex_trylock_nest_lock() and
mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock() and use these functions	in the
implementation of the
kvm_trylock_all_vcpus()/kvm_lock_all_vcpus()/kvm_unlock_all_vcpus().

Those changes allow removal of a custom workaround that was needed to
silence the lockdep warning in the SEV code and also stop lockdep from
complaining in case of ARM and RISC-V code which doesn't include the above
mentioned workaround.

Finally, it's worth noting that this patch series removes a fair
amount of duplicate code by implementing the logic in one place.

V5: addressed review feedback.

Best regards,
	Maxim Levitsky

Maxim Levitsky (6):
  locking/mutex: implement mutex_trylock_nested
  locking/mutex: implement mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock
  KVM: add kvm_lock_all_vcpus and kvm_trylock_all_vcpus
  x86: KVM: SVM: use kvm_lock_all_vcpus instead of a custom
    implementation
  KVM: arm64: use kvm_trylock_all_vcpus when locking all vCPUs
  RISC-V: KVM: use kvm_trylock_all_vcpus when locking all vCPUs
