kvm: Do not use qemu_fair_mutex
The imbalance in the hold time of qemu_global_mutex only exists in TCG
mode. In contrast to TCG VCPUs, KVM drops the global lock during guest
execution. We already avoid touching the fairness lock from the
IO-thread in KVM mode, so also stop using it from the VCPU threads.
