[PATCH 5/5] habanalabs: use a mutex rather than a spinlock

From: Koby Elbaz <kelbaz at habana.ai>
There are two reasons why mutex is better here:
1. There's a critical section relatively long, where in
certain scenarios (e.g., multiple VM allocations) taking a spinlock
might cause noticeable performance degradation.
2. It will remove the incorrect usage of mutex under
spin_lock (where preemption is disabled).
