s390/vfio-ap: introduce new mutex to control access to the KVM pointer

The vfio_ap device driver registers for notification when the pointer to
the KVM object for a guest is set. Recall that the KVM lock (kvm->lock)
mutex must be taken outside of the matrix_dev->lock mutex to prevent the
reporting by lockdep of a circular locking dependency (a.k.a., a lockdep
splat):

* see commit 0cc00c8d4050 ("Fix circular lockdep when setting/clearing
  crypto masks")

* see commit 86956e70761b ("replace open coded locks for
  VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notification")

With the introduction of support for hot plugging/unplugging AP devices
passed through to a KVM guest, a new guests_lock mutex is introduced to
ensure the proper locking order is maintained:

struct ap_matrix_dev {
        ...
        struct mutex guests_lock;
       ...
}

The matrix_dev->guests_lock controls access to the matrix_mdev instances
that hold the state for AP devices that have been passed through to a
KVM guest. This lock must be held to control access to the KVM pointer
(matrix_mdev->kvm) while the vfio_ap device driver is using it to
plug/unplug AP devices passed through to the KVM guest.

Keep in mind, the proper locking order must be maintained whenever
dynamically updating a KVM guest's APCB to plug/unplug adapters, domains
and control domains:

    1. matrix_dev->guests_lock: required to use the KVM pointer - stored in
       a struct ap_matrix_mdev instance - to update a KVM guest's APCB

    2. matrix_mdev->kvm->lock: required to update a guest's APCB

    3. matrix_dev->mdevs_lock: required to access data stored in a
       struct ap_matrix_mdev instance.
