vhost: use mutex_lock_nested() in vhost_dev_lock_vqs()

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")
