x86/kvm: Alloc dummy async #PF token outside of raw spinlock
commit 0547758a upstream. Drop the raw spinlock in kvm_async_pf_task_wake() before allocating the the dummy async #PF token, the allocator is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT kernels and must not be called from truly atomic contexts. Opportunistically document why it's ok to loop on allocation failure, i.e. why the function won't get stuck in an infinite loop.
