KVM: x86: Add kvm_x86_ops hook to short circuit emulation

Browse source 
Replace the existing kvm_x86_ops.need_emulation_on_page_fault() with a
more generic is_emulatable(), and unconditionally call the new function
in x86_emulate_instruction().

KVM will use the generic hook to support multiple security related
technologies that prevent emulation in one way or another.  Similar to
the existing AMD #NPF case where emulation of the current instruction is
not possible due to lack of information, AMD's SEV-ES and Intel's SGX
and TDX will introduce scenarios where emulation is impossible due to
the guest's register state being inaccessible.  And again similar to the
existing #NPF case, emulation can be initiated by kvm_mmu_page_fault(),
i.e. outside of the control of vendor-specific code.

While the cause and architecturally visible behavior of the various
cases are different, e.g. SGX will inject a #UD, AMD #NPF is a clean
resume or complete shutdown, and SEV-ES and TDX "return" an error, the
impact on the common emulation code is identical: KVM must stop
emulation immediately and resume the guest.

Query is_emulatable() in handle_ud() as well so that the
force_emulation_prefix code doesn't incorrectly modify RIP before
calling emulate_instruction() in the absurdly unlikely scenario that
KVM encounters forced emulation in conjunction with "do not emulate".
