Sheng Yang fae3a3536a KVM: Fix possible circular locking in kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device()
One possible order is:

KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl(took kvm->lock) -> kvm_iobus_register_dev() ->
down_write(kvm->slots_lock).

The other one is in kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device(), which take kvm->slots_lock
first, then kvm->lock.

Update the comment of lock order as well.

Observe it due to kernel locking debug warnings.
