KVM: Add "exiting guest mode" state
Currently we keep track of only two states: guest mode and host
mode. This patch adds an "exiting guest mode" state that tells
us that an IPI will happen soon, so unless we need to wait for the
IPI, we can avoid it completely.
Also
1: No need atomically to read/write ->mode in vcpu's thread
2: reorganize struct kvm_vcpu to make ->mode and ->requests
in the same cache line explicitly
