KVM: Add KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL capability and config option

Browse Source 
In order to differenciate between architectures that require no extra
synchronisation when accessing the dirty ring and those who do,
add a new capability (KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL) that identify
the latter sort. TSO architectures can obviously advertise both, while
relaxed architectures must only advertise the ACQ_REL version.

This requires some configuration symbol rejigging, with HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING
being only indirectly selected by two top-level config symbols:
- HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_TSO for strongly ordered architectures (x86)
- HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_ACQ_REL for weakly ordered architectures (arm64)
