kvm_arch_vcpu_precreate() targets to handle arch specific VM resource to be prepared prior to the actual creation of vCPU. For example, x86 platform may need do per-VM allocation based on max_vcpu_ids at the first vCPU creation. It probably leads to concurrency control on this allocation as multiple vCPU creation could happen simultaneously. From the architectual point of view, it's necessary to execute kvm_arch_vcpu_precreate() under protect of kvm->lock. Currently only arm64, x86 and s390 have non-nop implementations at the stage of vCPU pre-creation. Remove the lock acquiring in s390's design and make sure all architecture can run kvm_arch_vcpu_precreate() safely under kvm->lock without recrusive lock issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
