The recently established lock ordering mandates that the per-VM
vmapp_lock is acquired before taking the per-VPE lock.
As it turns out, its_vpe_set_affinity() takes the VPE lock, and
then calls into its_send_vmovp(), which itself takes the vmapp
lock. Obviously, this is a lock order violation.
As its_send_vmovp() is only called from its_vpe_set_affinity(),
hoist the vmapp locking from the former into the latter, restoring
the expected order.

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.
