Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: LAPIC: micro-optimize fixed mode ipi delivery

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

After disabling mwait/halt/pause vmexits, RESCHEDULE_VECTOR and
CALL_FUNCTION_SINGLE_VECTOR etc IPI is one of the main remaining
cause of vmexits observed in product environment which can't be
optimized by PV IPIs. This patch is the follow-up on commit
0e6d242eccdb (KVM: LAPIC: Micro optimize IPI latency), to optimize
redundancy logic before fixed mode ipi is delivered in the fast
path.

- broadcast handling needs to go slow path, so the delivery mode repair
  can be delayed to before slow path.
- self-IPI will not be intervened by hypervisor any more after APICv is
  introduced and the boxes support APICv are popular now. In addition,
  kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() can handle the self-IPI, so there is no
  need a shortcut for the non-APICv case.
