KVM: X86: Bail out of direct yield in case of under-committed scenarios
In case of under-committed scenarios, vCPUs can be scheduled easily; kvm_vcpu_yield_to adds extra overhead, and it is also common to see when vcpu->ready is true but yield later failing due to p->state is TASK_RUNNING. Let's bail out in such scenarios by checking the length of current cpu runqueue, which can be treated as a hint of under-committed instead of guarantee of accuracy. 30%+ of directed-yield attempts can now avoid the expensive lookups in kvm_sched_yield() in an under-committed scenario.
