The spinlock we use to protect the state of the simulator is sometimes
held for a long time (for example, when devices handle requests).

This also prevents us from calling functions that might sleep (such as
kthread_flush_work() in the next patch), and thus having to release
and retake the lock.

For these reasons, let's replace the spinlock with a mutex that gives
us more flexibility.
