[PATCH 1/3] powerpc/kvm: simplify the entering logic for secondary thread

[Liu Ping Fan]

After the primary vcpu changes vcore_state to VCORE_RUNNING, there is
very little chance to schedule to secondary vcpu. So if we change the
code sequence around set vcore_state to VCORE_RUNNING and disable
preemption, we lost little. But we simplify the entering logi, based on
the fact that if primary vcpu runs, the secondary vcpu can not be scheduled.
