[PATCH 3/4] KVM: x86: Add a VM stat exposing when KVM PIT is set to reinject mode

[Alejandro Jimenez]

Add a stat to query when PIT is in reinject mode, which can have a large
performance impact due to disabling SVM AVIC.
When using in-kernel irqchip, QEMU and KVM default to creating a PIT in
reinject mode, since this is necessary for old guest operating systems that
use the PIT for timing. Unfortunately, reinject mode relies on EOI
interception and so SVM AVIC must be inhibited when the PIT is set up using
this mode.
