Bharat Bhushan 09000adb86 KVM: PPC: Fix issue clearing exit timing counters
Following dump is observed on host when clearing the exit timing counters

[root@p1021mds kvm]# echo -n 'c' > vm1200_vcpu0_timing
INFO: task echo:1276 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
echo          D 0ff5bf94     0  1276   1190 0x00000000
Call Trace:

        The vcpu->mutex is used by kvm_ioctl_* (KVM_RUN etc) and same was
used when clearing the stats (in kvmppc_init_timing_stats()). What happens
is that when the guest is idle then it held the vcpu->mutx. While the
exiting timing process waits for guest to release the vcpu->mutex and
a hang state is reached.

        Now using seprate lock for exit timing stats.
