KVM generic changes for 7.0

 - Remove a subtle pseudo-overlay of kvm_stats_desc, which, aside from being
   unnecessary and confusing, triggered compiler warnings due to
   -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.

 - Document that vcpu->mutex is take outside of kvm->slots_lock and
   kvm->slots_arch_lock, which is intentional and desirable despite being
   rather unintuitive.

@@ -17,6 +17,8 @@ The acquisition orders for mutexes are as follows:
- kvm->lock is taken outside kvm->slots_lock and kvm->irq_lock
- vcpu->mutex is taken outside kvm->slots_lock and kvm->slots_arch_lock
- kvm->slots_lock is taken outside kvm->irq_lock, though acquiring
them together is quite rare.
