No functional change in this patch. A helper is added to find if
vcpu is dispatched by hypervisor. Use that instead of opencoding.
Also clarify some of the comments.

Similar code can be changed in lib/qspinlock.c and lib/locks.c as well.

I avoided doing that because they used the fetched yield_count value

yield_to_preempted(owner, yield_count);


and the checking comes with a comment

	if ((yield_count & 1) == 0)
		goto relax; /* owner vcpu is running */

If we are introducing vcpu_is_dispatched, we should remove 
yield_count_of() and use vcpu_is_dispatched everwhere

No point in having yield_count_of() and vcpu_is_dispatched, since
yield_count_of() is only used to check if we are running in OS or not.

We do

yield_count = yield_count_of(owner);
yield_to_preempted(owner, yield_count);

yield_to_preempted is defined just below yield_count_of() and we are anyway
passing the CPU, so we dont have to pass yield_count to yield_to_preempted
