Let's implement the callback to indicate when an APQN
is in use by the vfio_ap device driver. The callback is
invoked whenever a change to the apmask or aqmask would
result in one or more queue devices being removed from the driver. The
vfio_ap device driver will indicate a resource is in use
if the APQN of any of the queue devices to be removed are assigned to
any of the matrix mdevs under the driver's control.

There is potential for a deadlock condition between the matrix_dev->lock
used to lock the matrix device during assignment of adapters and domains
and the ap_perms_mutex locked by the AP bus when changes are made to the
sysfs apmask/aqmask attributes.

Consider following scenario (courtesy of Halil Pasic):
1) apmask_store() takes ap_perms_mutex
2) assign_adapter_store() takes matrix_dev->lock
3) apmask_store() calls vfio_ap_mdev_resource_in_use() which tries
   to take matrix_dev->lock
4) assign_adapter_store() calls ap_apqn_in_matrix_owned_by_def_drv
   which tries to take ap_perms_mutex

BANG!

To resolve this issue, instead of using the mutex_lock(&matrix_dev->lock)
function to lock the matrix device during assignment of an adapter or
domain to a matrix_mdev as well as during the in_use callback, the
mutex_trylock(&matrix_dev->lock) function will be used. If the lock is not
obtained, then the assignment and in_use functions will terminate with
-EBUSY.

If we detect that resources are in use, then we spit warnings to the
message log, right?

@Matt: Is your userspace tooling going to guarantee that this will never
happen?

Yes, but only when using the tooling to modify apmask/aqmask.  You would 
still be able to create such a scenario by bypassing the tooling and 
invoking the sysfs interfaces directly.

Since, I suppose, the tooling is going to catch this anyway, and produce
much better feedback to the user, I believe we should be fine degrading
the severity to info or debug. 

I would prefer not producing a warning here, because I believe it is
likely to do more harm, than good (by implying a kernel problem, as I
don't think based on the message one will think that it is an userspace
problem). But if everybody else agrees, that we want a warning here, then
I can live with that as well.

Halil
