xive/kvm: Trigger interrupts from userspace

When using the XIVE KVM device, the trigger page is directly accessible
in QEMU. Unlike with XICS, no need to ask KVM to fire the interrupt. A
simple store on the trigger page does the job.

Just call xive_esb_trigger().

This may improve performance of emulated devices that go through
qemu_set_irq(), eg. virtio devices created with ioeventfd=off or
configured by the guest to use LSI interrupts, which aren't really
recommended setups.
