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.
