hv: debug: Add hv console callback to VM-exit event

Browse Source 
In some scenarios (e.g., nested) where lapic-pt is enabled for a vcpu
running on a pcpu hosting console timer, the hv console will be
inaccessible.

This patch adds the console callback to every VM-exit event so that the
console can still be somewhat functional under such circumstance.

Since this is VM-exit driven, the VM-exit/second can be low in certain
cases (e.g., idle or running stress workload). In extreme cases where
the guest panics/hangs, there will be no VM-exits at all.

In most cases, the shell is laggy but functional (probably enough for
debugging purpose).
