KVM: Add dedicated arch hook for querying if vCPU was preempted in-kernel
Plumb in a dedicated hook for querying whether or not a vCPU was preempted
in-kernel. Unlike literally every other architecture, x86's VMX can check
if a vCPU is in kernel context if and only if the vCPU is loaded on the
current pCPU.
x86's kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() works around the limitation by querying
kvm_get_running_vcpu() and redirecting to vcpu->arch.preempted_in_kernel
as needed. But that's unnecessary, confusing, and fragile, e.g. x86 has
had at least one bug where KVM incorrectly used a stale
preempted_in_kernel.
No functional change intended.
