KVM: x86: Extend KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS with selective updates

Browse Source 
User space may not want to overwrite asynchronously changing VCPU event
states on write-back. So allow to skip nmi.pending and sipi_vector by
setting corresponding bits in the flags field of kvm_vcpu_events.

[avi: advertise the bits in KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS]

See KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS for the data structure.
Fields that may be modified asynchronously by running VCPUs can be excluded
from the update. These fields are nmi.pending and sipi_vector. Keep the
corresponding bits in the flags field cleared to suppress overwriting the
current in-kernel state. The bits are:
KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_NMI_PENDING - transfer nmi.pending to the kernel
KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SIPI_VECTOR - transfer sipi_vector
