This patchset tries to fix below issues:
1. Admin could set halt_poll_ns to 0 at runtime to disable poll and kernel
behave just like the generic halt driver. Then If guest_halt_poll_grow_start
is set to 0 and guest_halt_poll_ns set to nonzero later, cpu_halt_poll_us will
never grow beyond 0. The first two patches fix this issue from both kvm and
guest side.
2. guest_halt_poll_grow_start and guest_halt_poll_ns could be adjusted at
runtime by admin, this could make a window where cpu_halt_poll_us jump out
of the boundary. the window could be long in some cases(e.g. guest_halt_poll_grow_start
is bumped and cpu_halt_poll_us is shrinking) The last two patches fix this
issue from both kvm and guest side.
3. The 4th patch also simplifies branch check code.
v2:
Rewrite the patches and drop unnecessory changes

dev->poll_limit_ns could be zeroed in certain cases (e.g. by
guest_halt_poll_ns = 0). If guest_halt_poll_grow_start is zero,
dev->poll_limit_ns will never be bigger than zero.
Use param callback to avoid writing zero to guest_halt_poll_grow_start.

As user can adjust guest_halt_poll_grow_start and guest_halt_poll_ns
which leads to cpu_halt_poll_us beyond the two boundaries. This patch
ensures cpu_halt_poll_us in that scope.
If guest_halt_poll_shrink is 0, shrink the cpu_halt_poll_us to
guest_halt_poll_grow_start instead of 0. To disable poll we can set
guest_halt_poll_ns to 0.
If user wrongly set guest_halt_poll_grow_start > guest_halt_poll_ns > 0,
guest_halt_poll_ns take precedency and poll time is a fixed value of
guest_halt_poll_ns.

As user can adjust halt_poll_ns_grow_start and halt_poll_ns which
leads to vcpu->halt_poll_ns beyond the two boundaries. This patch
ensures vcpu->halt_poll_ns in that scope after growing or shrinking.
If halt_poll_ns_shrink is 0, shrink vcpu->halt_poll_ns to
halt_poll_ns_grow_start instead of 0. To disable poll we can set
halt_poll_ns to 0.
In case user wrongly set halt_poll_ns_grow_start > halt_poll_ns > 0,
halt_poll_ns take precedency and poll time is a fixed value of
halt_poll_ns.
This patch also simplifies branch check based on the guest haltpoll
code.
