kvm hypervisor : Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks

Browse source

kvm_hc_kick_cpu allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.
the presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
kvm_feature_pv_unhalt.

Fold pv_unhalt flag into GET_MP_STATE ioctl to aid migration
During migration, any vcpu that got kicked but did not become runnable
(still in halted state) should be runnable after migration.
