x86/vmware: Add basic paravirt ops support

Add basic paravirt support:

 1. Set pv_info.name to "VMware hypervisor" to have proper boot log message
Booting paravirtualized kernel on VMware hypervisor
    instead of "... on bare hardware"

 2. Set pv_cpu_ops.io_delay() to empty function - paravirt_noop() to
    avoid vm-exits on IO delays because io delays they are not required.
