KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Call kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() with vcore unlocked
Currently kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() is called with the vcore lock held because it is called within a for_each_runnable_thread loop. However, we already unlock the vcore within kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() under certain circumstances, and this is safe because (a) any vcpus that become runnable and are added to the runnable set by kvmppc_run_vcpu() have their vcpu->arch.trap == 0 and can't actually run in the guest (because the vcore state is VCORE_EXITING), and (b) for_each_runnable_thread is safe against addition or removal of vcpus from the runnable set. Therefore, in order to simplify things for following patches, let's drop the vcore lock in the for_each_runnable_thread loop, so kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() gets called without the vcore lock held.
