Don't actually set a request bit in vcpu->requests when making a request
purely to force a vCPU to exit the guest. Logging the request but not
actually consuming it causes the vCPU to get stuck in an infinite loop
during KVM_RUN because KVM sees a pending request and bails from VM-Enter
to service the request.
Opportunistically rename gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start()'s wake_vcpus
to evict_vcpus, the purpose of the request is to get vCPUs out of guest
mode, it specifically is supposed to avoid waking vCPUs that are blocking.
Opportunistically rename KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE to be more specific as to
what it wants to accomplish, and to genericize the name so that it can
used for similar but unrelated scenarios, should they arise in the future.
Add a comment and documentation to explain why the "no action" request
exists.
Add compile-time assertions to help detect improper usage. Use the inner
assertless helper in the one s390 path that makes requests without a
hardcoded request.

This code badly needs a selftest, any triggering of the related code would
hang the target vCPU, i.e. this is likely getting zero coverage. Found by
inspection when resolving a conflict and trying to opportunistically type
of documentation for KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE.
Verified by hacking gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start() to unconditionally
send a request to all vCPUs.

+KVM_REQ_OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE
+
+ This "request" ensures the target vCPU has exited guest mode prior to the
+ sender of the request continuing on. No action needs be taken by the target,
+ and so no request is actually logged for the target. This request is similar
+ to a "kick", but unlike a kick it guarantees the vCPU has actually exited
+ guest mode. A kick only guarantees the vCPU will exit at some point in the
+ future, e.g. a previous kick may have started the process, but there's no
+ guarantee the to-be-kicked vCPU has fully exited guest mode.
