vfio-pci: Don't use device_lock around AER interrupt setup
device_lock is much too prone to lockups. For instance if we have a pending .remove then device_lock is already held. If userspace attempts to modify AER signaling after that point, a deadlock occurs. eventfd setup/teardown is already protected in vfio with the igate mutex. AER is not a high performance interrupt, so we can also use the same mutex to protect signaling versus setup races. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <[email protected]>
