I understand changing the call to vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queues, but why are we changing the
kvm pointer on the surrounding lines?

In reality, both pointers are one in the same given the two callers pass
matrix_mdev->kvm into the function. I'm not sure why that is the case,
it is probably a remnant from the commits that fixed the lockdep splat;
however, there is no reason other than I've gotten used to retrieving the
KVM pointer from the ap_matrix_mdev structure. In reality, there is no
reason to pass a 'struct kvm *kvm' into this function, so I'm going to
look into that and adjust accordingly.

The 'struct kvm *kvm' parameter was added to the signature of the
vfio_ap_mdev_unset_kvm function with the following commit:

86956e70761b (s390/vfio-ap: replace open coded locks for VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notification)

I also noticed the the kernel doc for the vfio_ap_mdev_set_kvm and
vfio_ap_mdev_unset_kvm functions still contained a comment that is no longer
valid by the following commit:

0cc00c8d4050 (s390/vfio-ap: fix circular lockdep when setting/clearing crypto masks)

I pushed a patch to our devel branch that removes the invalid comment
from the two functions and removes the 'struct kvm *kvm' parameter
from the vfio_ap_mdev_unset_kvm function. That patch will prereq this series.
