xen/gntdev: Fix sleep-inside-spinlock

gntdev_put_map tries to acquire a mutex when freeing pages back to the
xenballoon pool, so it cannot be called with a spinlock held. In
gntdev_release, the spinlock is not needed as we are freeing the
structure later; in the ioctl, only the list manipulation needs to be
under the lock.
