KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Simplify locking around stolen time calculations
Currently the calculations of stolen time for PPC Book3S HV guests
uses fields in both the vcpu struct and the kvmppc_vcore struct. The
fields in the kvmppc_vcore struct are protected by the
vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock of the vcpu that has taken responsibility for
running the virtual core. This works correctly but confuses lockdep,
because it sees that the code takes the tbacct_lock for a vcpu in
kvmppc_remove_runnable() and then takes another vcpu's tbacct_lock in
vcore_stolen_time(), and it thinks there is a possibility of deadlock,
causing it to print reports like this:

other info that might help us debug this:

In order to make the locking easier to analyse, we change the code to
use a spinlock in the kvmppc_vcore struct to protect the stolen_tb and
preempt_tb fields. This lock needs to be an irq-safe lock since it is
used in the kvmppc_core_vcpu_load_hv() and kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_hv()
functions, which are called with the scheduler rq lock held, which is
an irq-safe lock.
