KVM: Enable pvspinlock after jump_label_init() to avoid VM hang
We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973 Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick. Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in a945928e (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init() has executed) This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().
