KVM: PIC: enhance IPI avoidance

Browse Source 
The PIC code makes little effort to avoid kvm_vcpu_kick(), resulting in
unnecessary guest exits in some conditions.

For example, if the timer interrupt is routed through the IOAPIC, IRR
for IRQ 0 will get set but not cleared, since the APIC is handling the
acks.

This means that everytime an interrupt < 16 is triggered, the priority
logic will find IRQ0 pending and send an IPI to vcpu0 (in case IRQ0 is
not masked, which is Linux's case).

Introduce a new variable isr_ack to represent the IRQ's for which the
guest has been signalled / cleared the ISR. Use it to avoid more than
one IPI per trigger-ack cycle, in addition to the avoidance when ISR is
set in get_priority().
