A request called EXIT is too generic. All requests are meant to cause
exits, but different requests have different flags. Let's not make
it difficult to decide if the EXIT request is correct for some case
by just always providing unique requests for each case. This patch
changes EXIT to SLEEP, because that's what the request is asking the
VCPU to do.

We can make a small optimization by not checking the state of
the power_off field on each run. This is done by treating
power_off like pause, only checking it when we get the EXIT
VCPU request. When a VCPU powers off another VCPU the EXIT
request is already made, so we just need to make sure the
request is also made on self power off. kvm_vcpu_kick() isn't
necessary for these cases, as the VCPU would just be kicking
itself, but we add it anyway as a self kick doesn't cost much,
and it makes the code more future-proof.

System shutdown is currently using request-less VCPU kicks. This
leaves open a tiny race window, as it doesn't ensure the state
change to power_off is seen by a VCPU just about to enter guest
mode. VCPU requests, OTOH, are guaranteed to be seen (see "Ensuring
Requests Are Seen" of Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst)
This patch applies the EXIT request used by pause to power_off,
fixing the race.

arm/arm64 already has one VCPU request used when setting pause,
but it doesn't properly check requests in VCPU RUN. Check it
and also make sure we set vcpu->mode at the appropriate time
(before the check) and with the appropriate barriers. See
Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst. Also make sure we
don't leave any vcpu requests we don't intend to handle later
set in the request bitmap. If we don't clear them, then
kvm_request_pending() may return true when it shouldn't.
Using VCPU requests properly fixes a small race where pause
could get set just as a VCPU was entering guest mode.

For some time now we have been having a lot of shared functionality
between the arm and arm64 KVM support in arch/arm, which not only
required a horrible inter-arch reference from the Makefile in
arch/arm64/kvm, but also created confusion for newcomers to the code
base, as was recently seen on the mailing list.
Further, it causes confusion for things like cscope, which needs special
attention to index specific shared files for arm64 from the arm tree.
Move the shared files into virt/kvm/arm and move the trace points along
with it. When moving the tracepoints we have to modify the way the vgic
creates definitions of the trace points, so we take the chance to
include the VGIC tracepoints in its very own special vgic trace.h file.
