KVM: SVM: Implement pause loop exit logic in SVM
Bring the PLE(pause loop exit) logic to AMD svm driver.
While testing, we found this helping in situations where numerous
pauses are generated. Without these patches we could see continuos
VMEXITS due to pause interceptions. Tested it on AMD EPYC server with
boot parameter idle=poll on a VM with 32 vcpus to simulate extensive
pause behaviour. Here are VMEXITS in 10 seconds interval.
Pauses 810199 504
Total 882184 325415
