[PATCH v2 3/3] KVM: arm64: Add irq_exit counter for kvm_stat

This counter is meant to detect when the guest vm exits due to an
interrupt. Those interrupts might be unrelated to the guest VM (say, some
network packet arrived, and such) but they still trigger an exit which is
recorded by the "exit" counter. The main purpose of this counter is to
give some more granularity to this base exit counter so that one can have
a rough idea of where those exits comes from and so, if those general
exits happen because of the host or of the guest.
