    Following dump is observed on host when clearing the exit timing counters
    
    [root@p1021mds kvm]# echo -n 'c' > vm1200_vcpu0_timing
    INFO: task echo:1276 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
    "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
    echo          D 0ff5bf94     0  1276   1190 0x00000000
    Call Trace:

            The vcpu->mutex is used by kvm_ioctl_* (KVM_RUN etc) and same was
    used when clearing the stats (in kvmppc_init_timing_stats()). What happens
    is that when the guest is idle then it held the vcpu->mutx. While the
    exiting timing process waits for guest to release the vcpu->mutex and
    a hang state is reached.
    
            Now using seprate lock for exit timing stats.
