---------------------------
The instructions assigned to the vcpu_is_preempted function parameter in the X86 architecture physical machine are redundant instructions, causing the multi-core performance of Unixbench to drop by about 4% to 5%. The C function is as follows: static bool vcpu_is_preempted(long vcpu);
The parameter 'vcpu' in the function osq_lock that calls the function vcpu_is_preempted is assigned as follows:
The C code is in the function node_cpu: cpu = node->cpu - 1;
The instructions corresponding to the C code are: mov 0x14(%rax),%edi sub $0x1,%edi
The above instructions are unnecessary in the X86 Native operating environment, causing high cache-misses and degrading performance.
This patch uses static_key to not execute this instruction in the Native runtime environment.
The patch effect is as follows two machines, Unixbench runs with full core score:

For arm64 physical machine, vcpu_is_preempted() is also redundant, disable vcpu_has_preemption static key if PV sched can't be used to reduce cache-misses influence.
