sample: vfio-mdev: avoid deadlock in mdev_access()
mdev_access() calls mbochs_get_page() with mdev_state->ops_lock held, while mbochs_get_page() locks the mutex by itself. It leads to unavoidable deadlock. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org). Signed-off-by: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@ispras.ru> Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
