Subject: [PATCH 2/4] KVM: x86: Add a VM stat exposing when SynIC AutoEOI is in use

APICv/AVIC is inhibited for guests using Hyper-V's synthetic interrupt
controller (SynIC) enlightenment, and specifically SynIC's AutoEOI feature.
It is recommended that guests do not enable AutoEOI (see flag
HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED and commit 0f250a646382 ("KVM: x86:
hyper-v: Deactivate APICv only when AutoEOI feature is in use")), but it
can still be used in legacy configurations.
