Subject: [RFC PATCH 20/26] x86/paravirt: Enable pv-spinlocks in runtime_patch()

Enable runtime patching of paravirt spinlocks. These can be trivially
enabled because pv_lock_ops are never preemptible -- preemption is
disabled at entry to spin_lock*().

Note that a particular CPU instance might get preempted in the host but
because runtime_patching() is called via stop_machine(), the migration
thread would flush out any kernel threads preempted in the host.
