[PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: Add KVM_CAP to control WFx trapping

Add a KVM_CAP to control WFx (WFI or WFE) trapping based on scheduler
runqueue depth. This is so they can be passed through if the runqueue
is shallow or the CPU has support for direct interrupt injection. They
may be always trapped by setting this value to 0. Technically this
means traps will be cleared when the runqueue depth is 0, but that
implies nothing is running anyway so there is no reason to care. The
default value is 1 to preserve previous behavior before adding this
option.

Think about his option as a threshold. The instruction will be trapped
if the runqueue depth is higher than the threshold.

v2:
The last version was exclusively a flag to enable unconditional wfx
passthrough but there was feedback to make passthrough/trapping depend
on runqueue depth. I asked the last thread if there were any
preferences for the interface to accomplish this but I figured it's
easier to show code than wait for people telling me what to do.
