[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: optimize the kvm_vcpu_on_spin

["Longpeng(Mike)" <longpeng2@huawei.com>]

This is a simple optimization for kvm_vcpu_on_spin, the
main idea is described in patch-1's commit msg.

I did some tests base on the RFC version, the result shows
that it can improves the performance slightly.

== Geekbench-3.4.1 ==
VM1: 	8U,4G, vcpu(0...7) is 1:1 pinned to pcpu(6...11,18,19)
	running Geekbench-3.4.1 *10 truns*
VM2/VM3/VM4: configure is the same as VM1
	stress each vcpu usage(seed by top in guest) to 40%

The comparison of each testcase's score:
(higher is better)
		before		after		improve
Inter
 single		1176.7		1179.0		0.2%
 multi		3459.5		3426.5		-0.9%
Float
 single		1150.5		1150.9		0.0%
 multi		3364.5		3391.9		0.8%
Memory(stream)
 single		1768.7		1773.1		0.2%
 multi		2511.6		2557.2		1.8%
Overall
 single		1284.2		1286.2		0.2%
 multi		3231.4		3238.4		0.2%


== kernbench-0.42 ==
VM1:    8U,12G, vcpu(0...7) is 1:1 pinned to pcpu(6...11,18,19)
        running "kernbench -n 10"
VM2/VM3/VM4: configure is the same as VM1
        stress each vcpu usage(seed by top in guest) to 40%

The comparison of 'Elapsed Time':
(sooner is better)
		before		after		improve
load -j4	12.762		12.751		0.1%
load -j32	9.743		8.955		8.1%
load -j		9.688		9.229		4.7%

Changes since V1:
 - split the implementation of s390 & arm. [David]
 - refactor the impls according to the suggestion. [Paolo]

Changes since RFC:
 - only cache result for X86. [David & Cornlia & Paolo]
 - add performance numbers. [David]
 - impls arm/s390. [Christoffer & David]
 - refactor the impls. [me]
