[PATCH] kvm: ioapic: Introduce arch-specific check for lazy update EOI mechanism

commit f458d039db7e ("kvm: ioapic: Lazy update IOAPIC EOI") introduces
the following regression on Intel VMX APICv.

BUG: stack guard page was hit at 000000008f595917 \
(stack is 00000000bdefe5a4..00000000ae2b06f5)
kernel stack overflow (double-fault): 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

....

This is due to the logic always force IOAPIC lazy update EOI mechanism
when APICv is activated, which is only needed by AMD SVM AVIC.

Fixes by introducing struct kvm_arch.use_lazy_eoi variable to specify
whether the architecture needs lazy update EOI support.
