Subject: [PATCH 2/3] kvm: x86: do not use KVM_REQ_EVENT for APICv interrupt injection

Since bf9f6ac8d749 ("KVM: Update Posted-Interrupts Descriptor when vCPU
is blocked", 2015-09-18) the posted interrupt descriptor is checked
unconditionally for PIR.ON.  Therefore we don't need KVM_REQ_EVENT to
trigger the scan and, if NMIs or SMIs are not involved, we can avoid
the complicated event injection path.

However, there is a race between vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt and
vcpu_enter_guest.  Fix it by disabling interrupts before vcpu->mode is
set to IN_GUEST_MODE.

Calling kvm_vcpu_kick if PIR.ON=1 is also useless, though it has been
there since APICv was introduced.
