KVM: arm64: vgic: Don't hold config_lock while unregistering redistributors



We recently moved the teardown of the vgic part of a vcpu inside
a critical section guarded by the config_lock. This teardown phase
involves calling into kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev(), which takes the
kvm->srcu lock.

However, this violates the established order where kvm->srcu is
taken on a memory fault (such as an MMIO access), possibly
followed by taking the config_lock if the GIC emulation requires
mutual exclusion from the other vcpus.

It therefore results in a bad lockdep splat, as reported by Zenghui.

Fix this by moving the call to kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev() outside
of the config_lock critical section. At this stage, there shouln't
be any need to hold the config_lock.

As an additional bonus, document the ordering between kvm->slots_lock,
kvm->srcu and kvm->arch.config_lock so that I cannot pretend I didn't
know about those anymore.
