sched/core: Introduce the vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface
This patch is the first step to add support to improve lock holder
preemption beaviour.
vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) does the obvious thing: it tells us whether a
vCPU is preempted or not.
Defaults to false on architectures that don't support it.
