x86/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check
Support the vcpu_is_preempted() functionality under KVM. This will
enhance lock performance on overcommitted hosts (more runnable vCPUs
than physical CPUs in the system) as doing busy waits for preempted
vCPUs will hurt system performance far worse than early yielding.
Use struct kvm_steal_time::preempted to indicate that if a vCPU
is running or not.
