Move the check whether there are available entries to within the spinlock.
This allows working with larger amount of VCPUs and reduces premature
exits when using a large number of VCPUs.

Hmm. This means we take the lock for every I/O, whether it hits coalesced mmio or not.

We need to do the range check before taking the lock and the space check after taking the lock.
