We use mutex around the FSM function call to make the FSM
event handling and state change atomic.
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

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.
