[18/22] kvm: Unconditionally reenter kernel after IO exits

KVM requires to reenter the kernel after IO exits in order to complete
instruction emulation. Failing to do so will leave the kernel state
inconsistently behind. To ensure that we will get back ASAP, we issue a
self-signal that will cause KVM_RUN to return once the pending
operations are completed.

This patch also fixes the missing exit_request check in kvm_cpu_exec in
the CONFIG_IOTHREAD case.
