I think I understand now, if vGIF is enabled, and V_NMI_MASK is set, and the guest does STGI, then nothing
new should be injected.
If V_NMI_MASK is not set, then svm_nmi_blocked will respect the HF_GIF_MASK, and on STGI interception,
the new NMI will be injected on VM entry by setting the V_NMI_PENDING.
So looks like it should work.
