Subject: virt: vbox: Do not use wait_event_interruptible when called from
 kernel context

Do not use wait_event_interruptible when vbg_hgcm_call() gets called from
kernel-context, such as it being called by the vboxsf filesystem code.

This fixes some filesystem related system calls on shared folders
unexpectedly failing with -EINTR.

Fixes: 0532a1b0d045 ("virt: vbox: Implement passing requestor info to the host for VirtualBox 6.0.x")
