this supports to fix lock holder preempted issue which run as a guest

for kernel users, we could use bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) to detech
if one vcpu is preempted or not.

The default implementation is a macrodefined by false. So compiler can
wrap it out if arch dose not support such vcpu pteempted check.

archs can implement it by define arch_vcpu_is_preempted().

I think you are missing Peter's comment here. We can

#ifndef vcpu_is_preempted
#define vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) fasle
#endif

And different archs implement their own versions of vcpu_is_preempted(),
IOW, no need for an arch_vcpu_is_preempted().

yes, right.
just vcpu_is_preempted, no arch_vcpu_is_preempted..
thanks
