IPI and Timer cause the main vmexits in cloud environment observation, 
after single target IPI fastpath, let's optimize tscdeadline timer 
latency by introducing tscdeadline timer emulation fastpath, it will 
skip various KVM related checks when possible. i.e. after vmexit due 
to tscdeadline timer emulation, handle it 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):

5632.75ns -> 4559.25ns, 19%

kvm-unit-test/vmexit.flat:

w/o APICv, w/o advance timer:
tscdeadline_immed: 4780.75 -> 3851    19.4%
tscdeadline:       7474    -> 6528.5  12.7%

w/o APICv, w/ adaptive advance timer default -1:
tscdeadline_immed: 4845.75 -> 3930.5  18.9%
tscdeadline:       6048    -> 5871.75    3%

w/ APICv, w/o avanced timer:
tscdeadline_immed: 2919    -> 2467.75 15.5%
tscdeadline:       5661.75 -> 5188.25  8.4%

w/ APICv, w/ adaptive advance timer default -1:
tscdeadline_immed: 3018.5  -> 2561    15.2%
tscdeadline:       4663.75 -> 4537     2.7%

v1 -> v2:
 * move more stuff from vmx.c to lapic.c
 * remove redundant checking
 * check more conditions to bail out CONT_RUN
 * not break AMD
 * not handle LVTT sepecial
 * cleanup codes
