drm/virtio: notify virtqueues without holding spinlock
Split virtqueue_kick() call into virtqueue_kick_prepare(), which requires serialization, and virtqueue_notify(), which does not. Move the virtqueue_notify() call out of the critical section protected by the queue lock. This avoids triggering a vmexit while holding the lock and thereby fixes a rather bad spinlock contention.
