KVM: x86: Support the vCPU preemption check with nopvspin and realtime hint
If guest kernel is configured with nopvspin, or CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCK
is disabled, or guest find its has dedicated pCPUs from realtime hint
feature, the pvspinlock will be disabled, and vCPU preemption check
is disabled too.
Hoever, KVM still can emulating HLT for vCPU for both cases. Checking if a vCPU
is preempted or not can still boost performance in IPI-heavy scenarios such as
unixbench file copy and pipe-based context switching tests: Here the vCPU is
running with a dedicated pCPU, so the guest kernel has nopvspin but is
emulating HLT for the vCPU:

Move the setting of pv_ops.lock.vcpu_is_preempted to kvm_guest_init, so
that it does not depend on pvspinlock.
