4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>

commit e9cb4239134c860e5f92c75bf5321bd377bb505b upstream.

We used to call mutex_lock() in vhost_dev_lock_vqs() which tries to
hold mutexes of all virtqueues. This may confuse lockdep to report a
possible deadlock because of trying to hold locks belong to same
class. Switch to use mutex_lock_nested() to avoid false positive.

Fixes: 6b1e6cc7855b0 ("vhost: new device IOTLB API")
