x86/kvm: Alloc dummy async #PF token outside of raw spinlock

commit e0d50520ece8f8a0c6acc9fbdda16e9094896a83 upstream.

Drop the raw spinlock in kvm_async_pf_task_wake() before allocating the
the dummy async #PF token, the allocator is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT
kernels and must not be called from truly atomic contexts.

Opportunistically document why it's ok to loop on allocation failure,
i.e. why the function won't get stuck in an infinite loop.
