Documentation: kvm: fix SRCU locking order docs
kvm->srcu is taken in KVM_RUN and several other vCPU ioctls, therefore vcpu->mutex is susceptible to the same deadlock that is documented for kvm->slots_lock. The same holds for kvm->lock, since kvm->lock is held outside vcpu->mutex. Fix the documentation and rearrange it to highlight the difference between these locks and kvm->slots_arch_lock, and how kvm->slots_arch_lock can be useful while processing a vmexit.
