[PATCH v3 10/22] KVM: Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock

From: isaku . yamahata
Date: Thu Sep 01 2022 - 22:19:13 EST


From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>

Because kvm_count_lock unnecessarily complicates the KVM locking convention
Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock for
simplicity.

Opportunistically add some comments on locking.
