KVM: arm/arm64: use vcpu requests for power_off
System shutdown is currently using request-less VCPU kicks. This leaves open a tiny race window, as it doesn't ensure the state change to power_off is seen by a VCPU just about to enter guest mode. VCPU requests, OTOH, are guaranteed to be seen (see "Ensuring Requests Are Seen" of Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst) This patch applies the EXIT request used by pause to power_off, fixing the race.
