[PATCH 2/3] i386: hvf: In kick_vcpu use hv_vcpu_interrupt to force exit |

When interrupting a vCPU thread, this patch actually tells the hypervisor to
stop running guest code on that vCPU.
Calling hv_vcpu_interrupt actually forces a vCPU exit, analogously to
hv_vcpus_exit on aarch64.
Previously, hvf_kick_vcpu_thread relied upon hv_vcpu_run returning very
frequently, including many spurious exits, which made it less of a problem that
nothing was actively done to stop the vCPU thread running guest code.
The newer, more efficient hv_vcpu_run_until exits much more rarely, so a true
"kick" is needed.
