[PATCH net] vhost_net: add missing lock nesting notation

From: Jason Wang
Date: Mon Mar 26 2018 - 04:10:34 EST


We try to hold TX virtqueue mutex in vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len()
after RX virtqueue mutex is held in handle_rx(). This requires an
appropriate lock nesting notation to calm down deadlock detector.

Fixes: 0308813724606 ("vhost_net: basic polling support")
