KVM: Fix race between timer migration and vcpu migration

A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU
between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable().

If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on
the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until
a host interrupt is triggered.

Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending.  This
has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.
