The fast-path timer delivery introduced a recursive locking deadlock
when userspace configures a timer which has already expired and is
delivered immediately. The call to kvm_xen_inject_timer_irqs() can
call to kvm_xen_set_evtchn() which may take kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock,
which is already held in kvm_xen_vcpu_get_attr().
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.8.0-smp--5e10b4d51d77-drs #232 Tainted: G O
--------------------------------------------
xen_shinfo_test/250013 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff938c9930cc30 (&kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_xen_set_evtchn+0x74/0x170 [kvm]
but task is already holding lock:
ffff938c9930cc30 (&kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kvm_xen_vcpu_get_attr+0x38/0x250 [kvm]
Now that the gfn_to_pfn_cache has its own self-sufficient locking, its
callers no longer need to ensure serialization, so just stop taking
kvm->arch.xen.xen_lock from kvm_xen_set_evtchn().
