x86/kvm/vmx: Add hardirq tracing to guest enter/exit
Entering guest mode is more or less the same as returning to user space. From an instrumentation point of view both leave kernel mode and the transition to guest or user mode reenables interrupts on the host. In user mode an interrupt is served directly and in guest mode it causes a VM exit which then handles or reinjects the interrupt. The transition from guest mode or user mode to kernel mode disables interrupts, which needs to be recorded in instrumentation to set the correct state again. This is important for e.g. latency analysis because otherwise the execution time in guest or user mode would be wrongly accounted as interrupt disabled and could trigger false positives. Add hardirq tracing to guest enter/exit functions in the same way as it is done in the user mode enter/exit code, respecting the RCU requirements.
