Subject: [RFC v2 PATCH 09/21] KVM: Go back to online CPU on VM exit by
 external interrupt

If the slave CPU receives an interrupt in running a guest, current
implementation must once go back to onilne CPUs to handle the interupt.

This behavior will be replaced by later patch, which introduces direct
interrupt handling mechanism by the guest.
