[PATCH] perf kvm: Fix arm64 VM-EXIT event detection

A VM-EXIT event shall start at kvm:kvm_exit, and end with the next
kvm:kvm_entry. But it's reversed on arm64, which means the time running
guest code in fact.
Example:
# perf kvm stat record -p 2772 -- sleep 1
Before this change:
# perf kvm stat report
Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs:
VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time
IRQ 756 100.00% 100.00% 2.28us 3674.38us 1375.66us ( +- 4.34% )
Total Samples:756, Total events handled time:1039996.94us.
After:
# perf kvm stat report
Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs:
VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time
IRQ 772 100.00% 100.00% 0.24us 62.86us 6.34us ( +- 3.55% )
Total Samples:772, Total events handled time:4890.80us.
IRQ average handled time decreases to 6us, which is a more rational result
as KVM handles IRQ by returning to guest directly.
