fix some bugs in kvm-sch patch.

There is now a 'preempt-hooks' branch on kvm.git with the preempt-hooks work. I'll continually update and rebase it against master.

1. vmcs_readl/vmcs_writel are called with preempt enabled

Why is that bad?

2. preempt_count check doesn't make sense with preempt disabled

That is already fixed in the branch.

3. vmx_cpu_run doesn't handle error correctly and kvm_mmu_reload might
sleep with mutex changes, so I move it above.

Yes.

I'll add this (and the spinlock->mutex conversion) to the branch.
