Subject: [RFC PATCH 15/18] KVM: vmx: Add definitions PIN_BASED_PREEMPTION_TIMER

Add some definitions to use PIN_BASED_PREEMPTION_TIMER.

When PIN_BASED_PREEMPTION_TIMER is enabled, the guest will exit
with reason=EXIT_REASON_PREEMPTION_TIMER when the counter specified in
VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER_VALUE becomes 0.
This patch also adds a dummy handler for EXIT_REASON_PREEMPTION_TIMER,
which just goes back to VM execution soon.

These are currently intended only to be used with avoid entering the
guest on a slave CPU when vmx_prevent_run(vcpu, 1) is called.
