When queueing vCPU PVCLOCK updates in response to SUSPEND or HIBERNATE,
don't take kvm->lock as doing so can trigger a largely theoretical
deadlock, it is perfectly safe to iterate over the xarray of vCPUs without
holding kvm->lock, and kvm->lock doesn't protect kvm_set_guest_paused() in
any way (pv_time.active and pvclock_set_guest_stopped_request are
protected by vcpu->mutex, not kvm->lock).
