Subject: [PATCH] s390/vfio_ccw: Implement a crw lock

Unlike the channel_program struct, which covers synchronous I/O
submissions and asynchronous interrupts, the CRW region relies
exclusively on asynchronous events coming from hardware.

Implement a lock to manage the list of those payloads, to ensure
they are read cohesively.

Re: [PATCH 5.10.y] s390/vfio_ccw: Implement a crw lock

Right. It collided with 87d569cb35a5 ("s390/vfio_ccw: Cancel existing
