KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statistics

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.

Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.

Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).
