[PATCH v3 24/25] KVM: TDX: Guard VM state transitions with "all" the locks

Acquire kvm->lock, kvm->slots_lock, and all vcpu->mutex locks when
servicing ioctls that (a) transition the TD to a new state, i.e. when
doing INIT or FINALIZE or (b) are only valid if the TD is in a specific
state, i.e. when initializing a vCPU or memory region. Acquiring "all"
the locks fixes several KVM_BUG_ON() situations where a SEAMCALL can fail
due to racing actions, e.g. if tdh_vp_create() contends with either
tdh_mr_extend() or tdh_mr_finalize().
For all intents and purposes, the paths in question are fully serialized,
i.e. there's no reason to try and allow anything remotely interesting to
happen. Smack 'em with a big hammer instead of trying to be "nice".
Acquire kvm->lock to prevent VM-wide things from happening, slots_lock to
prevent kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast(), and _all_ vCPU mutexes to prevent vCPUs
from interefering. Use the recently-renamed kvm_arch_vcpu_unlocked_ioctl()
to service the vCPU-scoped ioctls to avoid a lock inversion problem, e.g.
due to taking vcpu->mutex outside kvm->lock.
See also commit ecf371f8b02d ("KVM: SVM: Reject SEV{-ES} intra host
migration if vCPU creation is in-flight"), which fixed a similar bug with
SEV intra-host migration where an in-flight vCPU creation could race with
a VM-wide state transition.
Define a fancy new CLASS to handle the lock+check => unlock logic with
guard()-like syntax:
CLASS(tdx_vm_state_guard, guard)(kvm);
if (IS_ERR(guard))
return PTR_ERR(guard);
to simplify juggling the many locks.
Note! Take kvm->slots_lock *after* all vcpu->mutex locks, as per KVM's
soon-to-be-documented lock ordering rules[1].
