Does this whole piece of code need the lock/unlock? Does it work and/or
make sense to do the unlock immediately after mutex_lock()? This makes
it clearer that the mutex is being to synchronize against the requestor.

Please add comments above fields that are protected by this lock
(anything but apicv_inhibit_reasons?), and especially move it to kvm->arch.
