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: 3028.5  -> 2494.75  17.6%
tscdeadline:       5765.7  -> 5285      8.3%

w/ adaptive advance timer default -1:
tscdeadline_immed: 3123.75 -> 2583     17.3%
tscdeadline:       4663.75 -> 4537      2.7%
