KVM: Note down when cpu relax intercepted or pause loop exited

Browse Source 
Noting pause loop exited vcpu or cpu relax intercepted helps in
filtering right candidate to yield. Wrong selection of vcpu;
i.e., a vcpu that just did a pl-exit or cpu relax intercepted may
contribute to performance degradation.
