Subject: [PATCH 2/3] KVM: VMX: modify preemption timer bit only when arming timer

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

Provide a singular location where the VMX preemption timer bit is
set/cleared so that future usages of the preemption timer can ensure
the VMCS bit is up-to-date without having to modify unrelated code
paths.  For example, the preemption timer can be used to force an
immediate VMExit.  Cache the status of the timer to avoid redundant
VMREAD and VMWRITE, e.g. if the timer stays armed across multiple
VMEnters/VMExits.
