When growing halt-polling, there is no check that the poll time exceeds
the limit. It's possible for vcpu->halt_poll_ns grow once past
halt_poll_ns, and stay there until a halt which takes longer than
vcpu->halt_poll_ns. For example, booting a Linux guest with
halt_poll_ns=11000:

 ... kvm:kvm_halt_poll_ns: vcpu 0: halt_poll_ns 0 (shrink 10000)
 ... kvm:kvm_halt_poll_ns: vcpu 0: halt_poll_ns 10000 (grow 0)
 ... kvm:kvm_halt_poll_ns: vcpu 0: halt_poll_ns 20000 (grow 10000)
