Currently, kvmppc_set_lpcr() has a spinlock around the whole function,
and inside that does mutex_lock(&kvm->lock). It is not permitted to
take a mutex while holding a spinlock, because the mutex_lock might
call schedule(). In addition, this causes lockdep to warn about a
lock ordering issue:

This fixes it by moving the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() pair outside
the spin-locked region.
