Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: get smi pending status correctly

The injection process of smi has two steps:

    Qemu                        KVM
Step1:
    cpu->interrupt_request &= \
        ~CPU_INTERRUPT_SMI;
    kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cpu, KVM_SMI)

                                call kvm_vcpu_ioctl_smi() and
                                kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_SMI, vcpu);

Step2:
    kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cpu, KVM_RUN, 0)

                                call process_smi() if
                                kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_SMI, vcpu) is
                                true, mark vcpu->arch.smi_pending = true;

The vcpu->arch.smi_pending will be set true in step2, unfortunately if
vcpu paused between step1 and step2, the kvm_run->immediate_exit will be
set and vcpu has to exit to Qemu immediately during step2 before mark
vcpu->arch.smi_pending true.
During VM migration, Qemu will get the smi pending status from KVM using
KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS ioctl at the downtime, then the smi pending status
will be lost.
