This can be reproduced by booting L1 guest w/ 'noapic' grub parameter, which 
means that tells the kernel to not make use of any IOAPICs that may be present 
in the system.

Actually external_intr variable in nested_vmx_vmexit() is the req_int_win 
variable passed from vcpu_enter_guest() which means that the L0's userspace 
requests an irq window. I observed the scenario (!kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) &&
L0's userspace reqeusts an irq window) is true, so there is no interrupt which 
L1 requires to inject to L2, we should not attempt to emualte "Acknowledge 
interrupt on exit" for the irq window requirement in this scenario.

This patch fixes it by not attempt to emulate "Acknowledge interrupt on exit"  
if there is no L1 requirement to inject an interrupt to L2.
