sched/core: Introduce the vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface

Browse Source 
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.
