Subject: [PATCH 5.12 070/296] KVM: X86: Fix vCPU preempted state from guests point of view

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

commit 1eff0ada88b48e4ac1e3fe26483b3684fedecd27 upstream.

Commit 66570e966dd9 (kvm: x86: only provide PV features if enabled in guest's
CPUID) avoids to access pv tlb shootdown host side logic when this pv feature
is not exposed to guest, however, kvm_steal_time.preempted not only leveraged
by pv tlb shootdown logic but also mitigate the lock holder preemption issue.
>>From guest's point of view, vCPU is always preempted since we lose the reset
of kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry if pv tlb shootdown feature is not
exposed. This patch fixes it by clearing kvm_steal_time.preempted before
vmentry.

Fixes: 66570e966dd9 (kvm: x86: only provide PV features if enabled in guest's CPUID)
