KVM: x86: Add kvm_skip_emulated_instruction and use it.

kvm_skip_emulated_instruction calls both
kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction and kvm_vcpu_check_singlestep,
skipping the emulated instruction and generating a trap if necessary.

Replacing skip_emulated_instruction calls with
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction is straightforward, except for:

- ICEBP, which is already inside a trap, so avoid triggering another trap.
- Instructions that can trigger exits to userspace, such as the IO insns,
  MOVs to CR8, and HALT. If kvm_skip_emulated_instruction does trigger a
  KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP exit, and the handling code for
  IN/OUT/MOV CR8/HALT also triggers an exit to userspace, the latter will
  take precedence. The singlestep will be triggered again on the next
  instruction, which is the current behavior.
- Task switch instructions which would require additional handling (e.g.
  the task switch bit) and are instead left alone.
- Cases where VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME do not proceed to the next instruction,
  which do not trigger singlestep traps as mentioned previously.
