[PATCH 39/44] KVM: Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata at intel.com>

Drop kvm_count_lock and instead protect kvm_usage_count with kvm_lock now
that KVM hooks CPU hotplug during the ONLINE phase, which can sleep.
Previously, KVM hooked the STARTING phase, which is not allowed to sleep
and thus could not take kvm_lock (a mutex).

Explicitly disable preemptions/IRQs in the CPU hotplug paths as needed to
keep arch code happy, e.g. x86 expects IRQs to be disabled during hardware
enabling, and expects preemption to be disabled during hardware disabling.
There are no preemption/interrupt concerns in the hotplug path, i.e. the
extra disabling is done purely to allow x86 to keep its sanity checks,
which are targeted primiarily at the "enable/disable all" paths.

Opportunistically update KVM's locking documentation.
