Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Use vCPU's APICv status when handling
 APIC_ACCESS memslot

Query the vCPU's APICv status, not the overall VM's status, when handling
a page fault that hit the APIC Access Page memslot.  If an APICv status
update is pending, using the VM's status is non-deterministic as the
initiating vCPU may or may not have updated overall VM's status.  E.g. if
a vCPU hits an APIC Access page fault with APICv disabled and a different
vCPU is simultaneously performing an APICv update, the page fault handler
will incorrectly skip the special APIC access page MMIO handling.

Using the vCPU's status in the page fault handler is correct regardless
of any pending APICv updates, as the vCPU's status is accurate with
respect to the last VM-Enter, and thus reflects the context in which the
page fault occurred.
