Stop taking kv->lock mutex in kvm_vfio_update_coherency() and instead call it with this mutex held: the callers of the function usually already have it taken (and released) before calling kvm_vfio_update_coherency(). This avoid bouncing the lock up and down. The exception is kvm_vfio_release() where we do not take the lock, but it is being executed when the very last reference to kvm_device is being dropped, so there are no concerns about concurrency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
