[PATCH 1/3] kernel/sched: introduce vcpu preempted check interface

this supports to fix lock holder preempted issue which run as a guest

for kernel users, we could use bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) to detech
if one vcpu is preempted or not.

The default implementation is a macrodefined by false. So compiler can
wrap it out if arch dose not support such vcpu pteempted check.

archs can implement it by define arch_vcpu_is_preempted().
