[PATCH v2 2/7] KVM: arm64: vgic: Rely on vCPU creation check in "trylock all vCPUs"

[Sean Christopherson]

Now that KVM's APIs for locking all vCPUs return -EBUSY if vCPU creation is
in-progress, drop the manual check for the same from vGIC creation, and
update the comments accordingly.

Note, while KVM arm64 guards many vGIC operations with its arch-specific
config_lock, holding kvm->lock is sufficient to guarantee a stable result
for "is vCPU creation in-progress".  So, no functional change intended.

Note #2, the open coded check in vgic_init() is racy when called without
kvm->lock held, e.g. via vgic_lazy_init().  I.e. that check needs to stay
open coded to avoid triggering a lockdep assert.  Whether or not the race
is "fine" is a problem for a different day.
