KVM: VMX: Provide support for user space injected NMIs

This patch adds the required bits to the VMX side for user space
injected NMIs. As with the preexisting in-kernel irqchip support, the
CPU must provide the "virtual NMI" feature for proper tracking of the
NMI blocking state.

Based on the original patch by Sheng Yang.
