KVM: x86: Optimize kvm->lock and SRCU interaction (KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER)



Reduce time spent holding kvm->lock: unlock mutex before calling
synchronize_srcu_expedited().  There is no need to hold kvm->lock until
all vCPUs have been kicked, KVM only needs to guarantee that all vCPUs
will switch to the new filter before exiting to userspace.  Protecting
the write to __reprogram_pmi is also unnecessary as a vCPU may process
a set bit before receiving the final KVM_REQ_PMU, but the per-vCPU writes
are guaranteed to occur after all vCPUs have switched to the new filter.
