A subsequent change to KVM/arm64 will necessitate walking the device list outside of the kvm->lock. Prepare by converting to an rculist. This has zero effect on the VM destruction path, as it is expected every reader is backed by a reference on the kvm struct. On the other hand, ensure a given device is completely destroyed before dropping the kvm->lock in the release() path, as certain devices expect to be a singleton (e.g. the vfio-kvm device).

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 reStructuredText 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.
