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.
