KVM: Convert kvm_lock back to non-raw spinlock
In commit e935b8372cf8 ("KVM: Convert kvm_lock to raw_spinlock"),
the kvm_lock was made a raw lock. However, the kvm mmu_shrink()
function tries to grab the (non-raw) mmu_lock within the scope of
the raw locked kvm_lock being held. This leads to the following:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 55, name: kswapd0
Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffffa0376eac>] mmu_shrink+0x5c/0x1b0 [kvm]
Pid: 55, comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 3.4.34_preempt-rt

After the previous patch, kvm_lock need not be a raw spinlock anymore,
so change it back.
