KVM: Grab vcpu->mutex across installing the vCPU's fd and bumping online_vcpus

During vCPU creation, acquire vcpu->mutex prior to exposing the vCPU to
userspace, and hold the mutex until online_vcpus is bumped, i.e. until the
vCPU is fully online from KVM's perspective.

To ensure asynchronous vCPU ioctls also wait for the vCPU to come online,
explicitly check online_vcpus at the start of kvm_vcpu_ioctl(), and take
the vCPU's mutex to wait if necessary (having to wait for any ioctl should
be exceedingly rare, i.e. not worth optimizing).
