This doesn't actually state what change it being made, is only describes the
problem. I'd also reword these sentences to avoid talking about assumptions, and
instead use stronger language.

s/Also added/Add, i.e. describe what the patch is doing, not what you did in the
past.

E.g.

  Grab kvm->lock before pinning memory when registering an encrypted
  region; sev_pin_memory() relies on kvm->lock being held to ensure
  correctness when checking and updating the number of pinned pages.

  Add a lockdep assertion to help prevent future regressions.

Personally I'd just leave this out.  Unless stated otherwise, it's implied that
you've tested the patch.

This error path needs to do mutex_unlock().
