KVM: Get rid of KVM_REQ_KICK

Browse source 
KVM_REQ_KICK poisons vcpu->requests by having a bit set during normal
operation.  This causes the fast path check for a clear vcpu->requests
to fail all the time, triggering tons of atomic operations.

Fix by replacing KVM_REQ_KICK with a vcpu->guest_mode atomic.
