[PATCH RFC 1/2] kvm vcpu: Note down pause loop exit

[Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Signed-off-by: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Noting pause loop exited vcpu helps in filtering right candidate to yield.
Yielding to same vcpu may result in more wastage of cpu.
