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.

struct kvm_steal_time::preempted indicates that if one vCPU is running or
not after commit "x86, kvm/x86.c: support vCPU preempted check".

 unix benchmark result:
 host:  kernel 4.8.1, i5-4570, 4 cpus
 guest: kernel 4.8.1, 8 vcpus
