kvm: provide kvm.h for all architecture: fixes headers_install

Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install,
because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h.  This problem
was introduced by

    KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM

    Currently, make headers_check barfs due to <asm/kvm.h>, which <linux/kvm.h>
    includes, not existing.  Rather than add a zillion <asm/kvm.h>s, export kvm.
    only if the arch actually supports it.

which makes this an 2.6.25 regression.

One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced
me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go.  This patch changes
the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y.

If  unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all
architectures without asm/kvm.h.  Therefore, this patch also provides
asm/kvm.h on all architectures.
