KVM: arm64: vgic: Fix a circular locking issue



Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between the srcu and the
config_lock:

Note that the current report, which can be triggered by the vgic_irq
kselftest, is a triple chain that includes slots_lock, but after
inverting the slots_lock/config_lock dependency, the actual problem
reported above remains.

In several places, the vgic code calls kvm_io_bus_register_dev(), which
synchronizes the srcu, while holding config_lock (#1). And the MMIO
handler takes the config_lock while holding the srcu read lock (#0).

Break dependency #1, by registering the distributor and redistributors
without holding config_lock. The ITS also uses kvm_io_bus_register_dev()
but already relies on slots_lock to serialize calls.

The distributor iodev is created on the first KVM_RUN call. Multiple
threads will race for vgic initialization, and only the first one will
see !vgic_ready() under the lock. To serialize those threads, rely on
slots_lock rather than config_lock.

Redistributors are created earlier, through KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR
ioctls and vCPU creation. Similarly, serialize the iodev creation with
slots_lock, and the rest with config_lock.
