KVM: s390: handle access registers in the run ioctl not in vcpu_put/load 

Right now we save the host access registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_load
and load them in kvm_arch_vcpu_put. Vice versa for the guest access
registers. On schedule this means, that we load/save access registers
multiple times.

e.g. VCPU_RUN with just one reschedule and then return does

[from user space via VCPU_RUN]
- save the host registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_load (via ioctl)
- load the guest registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_load (via ioctl)
- do guest stuff
- decide to schedule/sleep
- save the guest registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_put (via sched)
- load the host registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_put (via sched)
- save the host registers in switch_to (via sched)
- schedule
- return
- load the host registers in switch_to (via sched)
- save the host registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_load (via sched)
- load the guest registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_load (via sched)
- do guest stuff
- decide to go to userspace
- save the guest registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_put (via ioctl)
- load the host registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_put (via ioctl)
[back to user space]

As the kernel does not use access registers, we can avoid
this reloading and simply piggy back on switch_to (let it save
the guest values instead of host values in thread.acrs) by
moving the host/guest switch into the VCPU_RUN ioctl function.
We now do

[from user space via VCPU_RUN]
- save the host registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
- load the guest registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
- do guest stuff
- decide to schedule/sleep
- save the guest registers in switch_to
- schedule
- return
- load the guest registers in switch_to (via sched)
- do guest stuff
- decide to go to userspace
- save the guest registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
- load the host registers in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run

This seems to save about 10% of the vcpu_put/load functions
according to perf.

As vcpu_load no longer switches the acrs, We can also loading
the acrs in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs.
