Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] KVM: Check preempted_in_kernel for involuntary preemption

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

preempted_in_kernel is updated in preempt_notifier when involuntary preemption 
ocurrs, it can be stale when the voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken into 
account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin() loop. This patch lets it just check preempted_in_kernel 
for involuntary preemption.
