powerpc/paravirt: Use is_kvm_guest() in vcpu_is_preempted()
If its a shared LPAR but not a KVM guest, then see if the vCPU is
related to the calling vCPU. On PowerVM, only cores can be preempted.
So if one vCPU is a non-preempted state, we can decipher that all
other vCPUs sharing the same core are in non-preempted state.
Performance results:
$ perf stat -r 5 -a perf bench sched pipe -l 10000000 (lesser time is better)
