Please rename this function to kvm_apic_inject_pending_timer_irqs and
call it from kvm_inject_apic_timer_irqs.

Then apic_timer_expired can just do

        if (atomic_read(&apic->lapic_timer.pending))
                return;

+	if (unlikely(posted_interrupt_inject_timer(apic->vcpu))) {
+		kvm_apic_inject_pending_timer_irqs(apic);
+		return;
+	}

etc.
