KVM: Obey kvm.halt_poll_ns in VMs not using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL

Obey kvm.halt_poll_ns in VMs not using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL on every halt,
rather than just sampling the module parameter when the VM is first
created. This restore the original behavior of kvm.halt_poll_ns for VMs
that have not opted into KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL.

Notably, this change restores the ability for admins to disable or
change the maximum halt-polling time system wide for VMs not using
KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL.
