      [S390] s390-kvm: leave sie context on work. Removes preemption requirement · 0eaeafa1

      This patch fixes a bug with cpu bound guest on kvm-s390. Sometimes it
      was impossible to deliver a signal to a spinning guest. We used
      preemption as a circumvention. The preemption notifiers called
      vcpu_load, which checked for pending signals and triggered a host
      intercept. But even with preemption, a sigkill was not delivered
      immediately.
      
      This patch changes the low level host interrupt handler to check for the
      SIE  instruction, if TIF_WORK is set. In that case we change the
      instruction pointer of the return PSW to rerun the vcpu_run loop. The kvm
      code sees an intercept reason 0 if that happens. This patch adds accounting
      for these types of intercept as well.
      
      The advantages:
      - works with and without preemption
      - signals are delivered immediately
      - much better host latencies without preemption
