KVM: x86: Rely solely on preempted_in_kernel flag for directed yield

Browse source

Snapshot preempted_in_kernel using kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() so that the
flag is "accurate" (or rather, consistent and deterministic within KVM)
for guests with protected state, and explicitly use preempted_in_kernel
when checking if a vCPU was preempted in kernel mode instead of bouncing
through kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel().

Drop the gnarly logic in kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() that redirects to
preempted_in_kernel if the target vCPU is not the "running", i.e. loaded,
vCPU, as the only reason that code existed was for the directed yield case
where KVM wants to check the CPL of a vCPU that may or may not be loaded
on the current pCPU.
