Longpeng(Mike) 199b5763d3 KVM: add spinlock optimization framework
If a vcpu exits due to request a user mode spinlock, then
the spinlock-holder may be preempted in user mode or kernel mode.
(Note that not all architectures trap spin loops in user mode,
only AMD x86 and ARM/ARM64 currently do).

But if a vcpu exits in kernel mode, then the holder must be
preempted in kernel mode, so we should choose a vcpu in kernel mode
as a more likely candidate for the lock holder.

This introduces kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() to decide whether the
vcpu is in kernel-mode when it's preempted.  kvm_vcpu_on_spin's
new argument says the same of the spinning VCPU.
