Subject: [PATCH 43/47] KVM: switch pit creation to slots_lock

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@...hat.com>

switch pit creation to slots_lock. slots_lock is already taken for read
everywhere, so we only need to take it for write when creating pit.
This is in preparation to removing in_range and kvm->lock around it.
