Allow irqfd to be used for virtio-pci on s390x if the kernel supports
it. This improves s390x virtio-pci performance when using kvm
acceleration by allowing kvm to deliver interrupts instead of QEMU.

Hi Matthew,
this unfortunately fails to compile without KVM (e.g. on x86 hosts):
../../devel/qemu/hw/s390x/s390-pci-bus.c: In function ‘s390_pcihost_realize’:
../../devel/qemu/hw/s390x/s390-pci-bus.c:903:5: error:
‘kvm_msi_via_irqfd_allowed’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you
mean ‘kvm_msi_via_irqfd_enabled’?
903 | kvm_msi_via_irqfd_allowed = kvm_irqfds_enabled();
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| kvm_msi_via_irqfd_enabled
../../devel/qemu/hw/s390x/s390-pci-bus.c:903:5: note: each undeclared
identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
