Subject[PATCH 1/3] vmevent: Should not grab mutex in the atomic context
vmevent grabs a mutex in the atomic context, and so this pops up:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:271
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/0
1 lock held by swapper/0/0:
#0: (&watch->timer){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffff8103eb80>] call_timer_fn+0x0/0xf0
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.0+ #6
Call Trace:

This patch fixes the issue by removing the mutex and making the logic
lock-free.
