KVM: Add guest mode signal mask
Allow a special signal mask to be used while executing in guest mode. This
allows signals to be used to interrupt a vcpu without requiring signal
delivery to a userspace handler, which is quite expensive. Userspace still
receives -EINTR and can get the signal via sigwait().
