By default, HLT instruction executed by guest is intercepted by hypervisor.
However, KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS capability can be used to not intercept
HLT by setting KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT.

By default, vms are created with in-kernel APIC support in KVM selftests.
VM needs to be created without in-kernel APIC support for this test, so
that HLT will exit to userspace. To do so, __vm_create() is modified to not
call KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl while creating vm.

Add a test case to test KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT functionality.

Patch 1, 2 -> Preparatory patches to add the KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT test
              case 
Patch 3 -> Adds a test case for KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT

Testing done:
Tested KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT test case on AMD and Intel machines.
