KVM: Add KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL capability and config option

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)
