KVM: x86 emulator: restart string instruction without going back to a…

… guest.

Currently when string instruction is only partially complete we go back
to a guest mode, guest tries to reexecute instruction and exits again
and at this point emulation continues. Avoid all of this by restarting
instruction without going back to a guest mode, but return to a guest
mode each 1024 iterations to allow interrupt injection. Pending
exception causes immediate guest entry too.
