We use mutex around the FSM function call to make the FSM

I'm still not really clear as to what this mutex is supposed to
serialize:
- Modification of the state?
- Any calls in the state machine?
- A combination? (That would imply that we only deal with the state in
the state machine.)
yes to all
But wouldn't that imply that you need to either take the mutex if you
do something dependent on the state, or fire an event in that case?
Yes, if it is not I forgot something important (like I did in patch 10)
vfio_ccw_fsm_event(private, event) takes the mutex on firering an event.
I have some cases where I do not respect this.
This is false and I must handle this with a new private variable,
this is where I test the state after having fired an event.
I will need to change this, in quiesce, reset, probe and open (others?).

Looks like an unrelated change? If you want to do all state changes
under the mutex, that should rather be moved than deleted, shouldn't it?
It is moved to fsm_irq() which is called under mutex.
fsm_irq() returns VFIO_CCW_STATE_IDLE.
So, should that go into another patch?
I will see if I can put it inside the patch 01/10 moving state change
out of IRQ context.
