SVM ioctls take proper svms->lock to handle race conditions, don't need
take process mutex to serialize ioctls. This also fixes circular locking
warning:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock((work_completion)(&svms->deferred_list_work));
lock(&process->mutex);
lock((work_completion)(&svms->deferred_list_work));
lock(&process->mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***

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.
