Rob Bradford 507912385a vmm: Ensure that PIO and MMIO exits complete before pausing
As per this kernel documentation:

      For KVM_EXIT_IO, KVM_EXIT_MMIO, KVM_EXIT_OSI, KVM_EXIT_PAPR, KVM_EXIT_XEN,
      KVM_EXIT_EPR, KVM_EXIT_X86_RDMSR and KVM_EXIT_X86_WRMSR the corresponding
      operations are complete (and guest state is consistent) only after userspace
      has re-entered the kernel with KVM_RUN.  The kernel side will first finish
      incomplete operations and then check for pending signals.

      The pending state of the operation is not preserved in state which is
      visible to userspace, thus userspace should ensure that the operation is
      completed before performing a live migration.  Userspace can re-enter the
      guest with an unmasked signal pending or with the immediate_exit field set
      to complete pending operations without allowing any further instructions
      to be executed.

Since we capture the state as part of the pause and override it as part
of the resume we must ensure the state is consistent otherwise we will
lose the results of the MMIO or PIO operation that caused the exit from
which we paused.

Fixes: #3658
