KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Drop locks around call to kvmppc_pin_guest_page
At the moment we call kvmppc_pin_guest_page() in kvmppc_update_vpa() with two spinlocks held: the vcore lock and the vcpu->vpa_update_lock. This is not good, since kvmppc_pin_guest_page() calls down_read() and get_user_pages_fast(), both of which can sleep. This bug was introduced in 2e25aa5 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make virtual processor area registration more robust"). This arranges to drop those spinlocks before calling kvmppc_pin_guest_page() and re-take them afterwards. Dropping the vcore lock in kvmppc_run_core() means we have to set the vcore_state field to VCORE_RUNNING before we drop the lock, so that other vcpus won't try to run this vcore.
