The following BUG was found when running on a kernel with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y set:

BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#2, bash/2481
lock: 0xffff8d6052a88f50, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu:
0

As shown, the .magic: 00000000, does not match the expected value. This
is because spin_lock_init() is never called for the reset_lock. Fix
this by calling spin_lock_init(&pds_vfio->reset_lock) when initializing
the device.

is this patch still required with patch3?

Good point. It's not required anymore since there is no spinlock.

Thanks,
