kvm: reuse per-vcpu stats fd to avoid vcpu interruption
A regression has been detected in latency testing of KVM guests. More specifically, it was observed that the cyclictest numbers inside of an isolated vcpu (running on isolated pcpu) are: Where a maximum of 50us is acceptable. The implementation of KVM_GET_STATS_FD uses run_on_cpu to query per vcpu statistics, which interrupts the vcpu (and is unnecessary). To fix this, open the per vcpu stats fd on vcpu initialization, and read from that fd from QEMU's main thread.
