Currently, iterating over the list of TDP MMU roots can only be done under the MMU write lock, but that will change in future commits. Add a defensive comment to for_each_tdp_mmu_root noting that it must only be used under the MMU lock in write mode. That function will not be modified to work under the lock in read mode.
