enhanced cpu_stat with more detail, has guest_system and guest_user cpu time

This draft patch based on KVM upstream to show the idea. I would split it into
more kernel friendly version later.

The overhead is, the cost of get_cpl() after each exit from guest.

This can be very expensive in the nested virtualization case, so I wouldn't like this to be in normal paths. I think detailed profiling like that can be left to 'perf kvm', which only has overhead if enabled at runtime.

For example you can put the code to note the cpl in a tracepoint which is enabled dynamically.
