KVM: x86: Keep the lock order consistent between SRCU and gpc spinlock

Acquire SRCU before taking the gpc spinlock in wait_pending_event() so as
to be consistent with all other functions that acquire both locks.  It's
not illegal to acquire SRCU inside a spinlock, nor is there deadlock
potential, but in general it's preferable to order locks from least
restrictive to most restrictive, e.g. if wait_pending_event() needed to
sleep for whatever reason, it could do so while holding SRCU, but would
need to drop the spinlock.
