Subject: [PATCH 1/5] KVM: x86: Get vmcs12 pages before checking pending interrupts

From: Oliver Upton <oupton@...gle.com>

vmx_guest_apic_has_interrupts implicitly depends on the virtual APIC
page being present + mapped into the kernel address space. However, with
demand paging we break this dependency, as the KVM_REQ_GET_VMCS12_PAGES
event isn't assessed before entering vcpu_block.

Fix this by getting vmcs12 pages before inspecting the guest's APIC
page. Note that upstream does not have this issue, as they will directly
get the vmcs12 pages on vmlaunch/vmresume instead of relying on the
event request mechanism. However, the upstream approach is problematic,
as the vmcs12 pages will not be present if a live migration occurred
before checking the virtual APIC page.
