Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] KVM: X86: Extend KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS to inject a SHUTDOWN event

In some fatal case, the target vcpu would run into unexpected behavior
and should get shutdown (e.g. VM context is corrupted and not valid in
VMCS). User space would be informed in such case. To kill the target
vcpu, extend KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS ioctl to inject a synthesized SHUTDOWN
event with a new bit set in flags field. KVM would accordingly make
KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT request to trigger the real shutdown exit. Noting
that the KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT request also applies to the nested case,
so that only the target L2 vcpu would be killed.
