sched/core: Don't schedule threads on pre-empted vCPUs

In paravirt configurations today, spinlocks figure out whether a vCPU is
running to determine whether or not spinlock should bother spinning. We
can use the same logic to prioritize CPUs when scheduling threads. If a
vCPU has been pre-empted, it will incur the extra cost of VMENTER and
the time it actually spends to be running on the host CPU. If we had
other vCPUs which were actually running on the host CPU and idle we
should schedule threads there.

Performance numbers:

Note: With patch is referred to as Paravirt in the following and without
patch is referred to as Base.

1) When only 1 VM is running:

    a) Hackbench test on KVM 8 vCPUs, 10,000 loops (lower is better):

2) When two VMs are running with same CPU affinities:

    a) tbench test on VM 8 cpus

    Base:

	VM1:

	Throughput 220.59 MB/sec   1 clients  1 procs  max_latency=12.872 ms
	Throughput 448.716 MB/sec  2 clients  2 procs  max_latency=7.555 ms
	Throughput 861.009 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=49.501 ms
	Throughput 1261.81 MB/sec  7 clients  7 procs  max_latency=76.990 ms

	VM2:

	Throughput 219.937 MB/sec  1 clients  1 procs  max_latency=12.517 ms
	Throughput 470.99 MB/sec   2 clients  2 procs  max_latency=12.419 ms
	Throughput 841.299 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=37.043 ms
	Throughput 1240.78 MB/sec  7 clients  7 procs  max_latency=77.489 ms

    Paravirt:

	VM1:

	Throughput 222.572 MB/sec  1 clients  1 procs  max_latency=7.057 ms
	Throughput 485.993 MB/sec  2 clients  2 procs  max_latency=26.049 ms
	Throughput 947.095 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=45.338 ms
	Throughput 1364.26 MB/sec  7 clients  7 procs  max_latency=145.124 ms

	VM2:

	Throughput 224.128 MB/sec  1 clients  1 procs  max_latency=4.564 ms
	Throughput 501.878 MB/sec  2 clients  2 procs  max_latency=11.061 ms
	Throughput 965.455 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=45.370 ms
	Throughput 1359.08 MB/sec  7 clients  7 procs  max_latency=168.053 ms

    b) Hackbench with 4 fd 1,000,000 loops

	+-------+--------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+
	|Number |Paravirt                              |Base                                    |

	+-------+----------+--------+---------+--------+----------+--------+---------+----------+

    Note that this test was run just to show the interference effect
    over-subscription can have in baseline

    c) schbench results with 2 message groups on 8 vCPU VMs
