Drop kvm_arch_sched_in() and instead add and use kvm_vcpu.scheduled_out
to communicate to kvm_arch_vcpu_load() that the vCPU is being scheduling
back in.

While fiddling with an idea for optimizing state management on AMD CPUs,
I wanted to skip re-saving certain host state when a vCPU is scheduled back
in, as the state (theoretically) shouldn't change for the task while it's
scheduled out.  Actually doing that was annoying and unnecessarily brittle
due to having a separate API for the kvm_sched_in() case (the state save
needed to be in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() for the common path).

The other motivation for this is to avoid yet another arch hook, and more
arbitrary ordering, if there's a future need to hook kvm_sched_out() (we've
come close on the x86 side several times).  E.g. kvm_arch_vcpu_put() can
simply check kvm_vcpu.scheduled_out if it needs to something specific for
the vCPU being scheduled out.

v2:
 - Add scheduled_out flag instead of passing a bool to kvm_arch_vcpu_load().
   [Oliver]
 - Tack on patches to clean up x86's setting of l1tf_flush_l1d in
   kvm_arch_sched_load() (the code looked slightly less weird when the flag
   was being set by kvm_arch_sched_in()).
