commit f00327731131 ("KVM: arm64: Use config_lock to protect vgic state") was meant to rectify a longstanding lock ordering issue in KVM where the kvm->lock is taken while holding vcpu->mutex. As it so happens, the aforementioned commit introduced yet another locking issue by acquiring the its_lock before acquiring the config lock. This is obviously wrong, especially considering that the lock ordering is well documented in vgic.c. Reshuffle the locks once more to take the config_lock before the its_lock. While at it, sprinkle in the lockdep hinting that has become popular as of late to keep lockdep apprised of our ordering.
