[virt] SyscallEnter is split into two methods SyscallEnterUnlocked an…

…d SyscallEnterLocked to avoid waitUntilQueued time-outs due to the pin internal lock

The functionality of SyscallEnter is moved to SyscallEnterUnlocked called without acquiring the Pin internal lock. The actual modification of system call arguments is done in SyscallEnterLocked with acquiring the Pin internal lock. This commit fixes the following issue: s5z#57
