Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling

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

Defer the call to account guest time until after servicing any IRQ(s)
that happened in the guest or immediately after VM-Exit.  Tick-based
accounting of vCPU time relies on PF_VCPU being set when the tick IRQ
handler runs, and IRQs are blocked throughout the main sequence of
vcpu_enter_guest(), including the call into vendor code to actually
enter and exit the guest.

This fixes a bug[*] where reported guest time remains '0', even when
running an infinite loop in the guest.

[*] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209831
