Commit 1e175d2 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pack VCORE IDs to access full
VCPU ID space", 2018-07-25) added code that uses kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode
before any VCPUs are created. However, userspace can change
kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode at any time up until the first VCPU is created.
Hence it is (theoretically) possible for the check in
kvmppc_core_vcpu_create_hv() to race with another userspace thread
changing kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode.
This fixes it by moving the test that uses kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode into
the block where kvm->lock is held.
