RISC-V: KVM: Fix SRCU deadlock caused by kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests()



The kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests() is called with SRCU read lock held
and for KVM_REQ_SLEEP request it will block the VCPU without releasing
SRCU read lock. This causes KVM ioctls (such as KVM_IOEVENTFD) from
other VCPUs of the same Guest/VM to hang/deadlock if there is any
synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_srcu_expedited() in the path.

To fix the above in kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests(), we should do SRCU
read unlock before blocking the VCPU and do SRCU read lock after VCPU
wakeup.
