This patch implements handle preemption timer fastpath, after timer fire 
due to VMX-preemption timer counts down to zero, handle it as soon as 
possible and vmentry immediately without checking various kvm stuff when 
possible.

Testing on SKX Server.

cyclictest in guest(w/o mwait exposed, adaptive advance lapic timer is default -1):

5540.5ns -> 4602ns       17%

kvm-unit-test/vmexit.flat:

w/o avanced timer:
tscdeadline_immed: 2885    -> 2431.25  15.7%
tscdeadline:       5668.75 -> 5188.5    8.4%

w/ adaptive advance timer default -1:
tscdeadline_immed: 2965.25 -> 2520     15.0%
tscdeadline:       4663.75 -> 4537      2.7%
