Check whether a KVM hypercall needs to exit to userspace or not based on

Userspace can request a hypercall to exit to userspace for handling by
enable KVM_CAP_EXIT_HYPERCALL and the enabled hypercall will be set in
hypercall_exit_enabled. Make the check code generic based on it.

I believe you put "!ret" check first for a reason? Perhaps you can add a comment.
