Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: VMX: Handle preemption timer fastpath

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

This patch implements handle preemption timer fastpath, after timer fire 
due to VMX-preemption timer counts down to zero, handle it as soon as 
possible and vmentry immediately without checking various kvm stuff when 
possible.

Testing on SKX Server.

cyclictest in guest(w/o mwait exposed, adaptive advance lapic timer is default -1):

5632.75ns -> 4559.25ns, 19%

kvm-unit-test/vmexit.flat:

w/o APICv, w/o advance timer:
tscdeadline_immed: 4780.75 -> 3851    19.4%
tscdeadline:       7474    -> 6528.5  12.7%

w/o APICv, w/ adaptive advance timer default -1:
tscdeadline_immed: 4845.75 -> 3930.5  18.9%
tscdeadline:       6048    -> 5871.75    3%

w/ APICv, w/o avanced timer:
tscdeadline_immed: 2919    -> 2467.75 15.5%
tscdeadline:       5661.75 -> 5188.25  8.4%

w/ APICv, w/ adaptive advance timer default -1:
tscdeadline_immed: 3018.5  -> 2561    15.2%
tscdeadline:       4663.75 -> 4626.5     1%
