kvm: add capability for halt polling
broke the possibility for an admin to disable halt polling for already running KVM guests.
In past times doing
echo 0 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns
stopped polling system wide.
Now all KVM guests will use the halt_poll_ns value that was active during startup - even those that do not use KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL.
I guess this was not intended?
