KVM: x86: Deliver exception payload on KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS 

KVM allows the deferral of exception payloads when a vCPU is in guest
mode to allow the L1 hypervisor to intercept certain events (#PF, #DB)
before register state has been modified. However, this behavior is
incompatible with the KVM_{GET,SET}_VCPU_EVENTS ABI, as userspace
expects register state to have been immediately modified. Userspace may
opt-in for the payload deferral behavior with the
KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD per-VM capability. As such,
kvm_multiple_exception() will immediately manipulate guest registers if
the capability hasn't been requested.

Since the deferral is only necessary if a userspace ioctl were to be
serviced at the same as a payload bearing exception is recognized, this
behavior can be relaxed. Instead, opportunistically defer the payload
from kvm_multiple_exception() and deliver the payload before completing
a KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS ioctl.
