This is rather gross, and I'm guessing it adds extra work for the non-lockdep
case, assuming the compiler isn't so clever that it can figure out that the result
is never used.  Not that this is a hot path...

Does each lock actually need a separate subclass?  If so, why don't the other
paths that lock all vCPUs complain?

If differentiating the two VMs is sufficient, then we can pass in SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING
for the second round of locks.  If a per-vCPU subclass is required, we can use the
vCPU index and assign evens to one and odds to the other, e.g. this should work and
compiles to a nop when LOCKDEP is disabled (compile tested only).  It's still gross,
but we could pretty it up, e.g. add defines for the 0/1 param.
