KVM: Call kvm_arch_vcpu_blocking early into the blocking sequence

Browse Source 
When a vpcu is about to block by calling kvm_vcpu_block, we call
back into the arch code to allow any form of synchronization that
may be required at this point (SVN stops the AVIC, ARM synchronises
the VMCR and enables GICv4 doorbells). But this synchronization
comes in quite late, as we've potentially waited for halt_poll_ns
to expire.

Instead, let's move kvm_arch_vcpu_blocking() to the beginning of
kvm_vcpu_block(), which on ARM has several benefits:

- VMCR gets synchronised early, meaning that any interrupt delivered
  during the polling window will be evaluated with the correct guest
  PMR
- GICv4 doorbells are enabled, which means that any guest interrupt
  directly injected during that window will be immediately recognised

Tang Nianyao ran some tests on a GICv4 machine to evaluate such
change, and reported up to a 10% improvement for netperf:
