Set vcpu->mode to EXITING_GUEST_MODE as soon vCPU exits to reflect
that we are indeed exiting guest mode, but not quite out of guest
mode yet. Note: This is done lazily without an explicit memory
barrier so that we do not regress the cost in the critical path
of going from the exit to the exit handler.

Flip back to IN_GUEST_MODE for exits that use
EXIT_FASTPATH_REENTER_GUEST, such that we are IN_GUEST_MODE upon
reentry.

Changing vcpu->mode away from IN_GUEST_MODE as early as possible
gives IPI senders as much runway as possible to avoid ringing
doorbell or sending posted interrupt IPI in AMD and Intel,
respectively. Since this is done without an explicit memory
barrier, the worst case is that the IPI sender sees IN_GUEST_MODE
still and sends a spurious event, which is the behavior prior
to this patch.
