KVM: x86: Fix and refactor NMI watchdog emulation
This patch refactors the NMI watchdog delivery patch, consolidating tests and providing a proper API for delivering watchdog events. An included micro-optimization is to check only for apic_hw_enabled in kvm_apic_local_deliver (the test for LVT mask is covering the soft-disabled case already).
