KVM: x86: Add ioctl for KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL

Now that we have a flag that will tell the guest it was suspended, create an
interface for that communication using a KVM ioctl.

+4.70 KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL

+Capability: KVM_CAP_KVMCLOCK_CTRL
+Architectures: Any that implement pvclocks (currently x86 only)
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: None
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+This signals to the host kernel that the specified guest is being paused by
+userspace.  The host will set a flag in the pvclock structure that is checked
+from the soft lockup watchdog.  The flag is part of the pvclock structure that
+is shared between guest and host, specifically the second bit of the flags
+field of the pvclock_vcpu_time_info structure.  It will be set exclusively by
+the host and read/cleared exclusively by the guest.  The guest operation of
+checking and clearing the flag must an atomic operation so
+load-link/store-conditional, or equivalent must be used.  There are two cases
+where the guest will clear the flag: when the soft lockup watchdog timer resets
+itself or when a soft lockup is detected.  This ioctl can be called any time
+after pausing the vcpu, but before it is resumed.
