KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix conditions for starting vcpu
This corrects the test that determines whether a vcpu that has just become able to run in the guest (e.g. it has just finished handling a hypercall or hypervisor page fault) and whose virtual core is already running somewhere as a "piggybacked" vcore can start immediately or not. (A piggybacked vcore is one which is executing along with another vcore as a result of dynamic micro-threading.) Previously the test tried to lock the piggybacked vcore using spin_trylock, which would always fail because the vcore was already locked, and so the vcpu would have to wait until its vcore exited the guest before it could enter. In fact the vcpu can enter if its vcore is in VCORE_PIGGYBACK state and not already exiting (or exited) the guest, so the test in VCORE_PIGGYBACK state is basically the same as for VCORE_RUNNING state. Coverity detected this as a double unlock issue, which it isn't because the spin_trylock would always fail. This will fix the apparent double unlock as well.
