Subject: [PATCH Resend] KVM: x86: ioapic: Optimize EOI handling to reduce unnecessary VM exits

Address performance issues caused by a vector being reused by a
non-IOAPIC source.

Commit 0fc5a36dd6b3
("KVM: x86: ioapic: Fix level-triggered EOI and IOAPIC reconfigure race")
addressed the issues related to EOI and IOAPIC reconfiguration races.
However, it has introduced some performance concerns:

Configuring IOAPIC interrupts while an interrupt request (IRQ) is
already in service can unintentionally trigger a VM exit for other
interrupts that normally do not require one, due to the settings of
`ioapic_handled_vectors`. If the IOAPIC is not reconfigured during
runtime, this issue persists, continuing to adversely affect
performance.

Simple Fix Proposal:
A straightforward solution is to record highest in-service IRQ that
is pending at the time of the last scan. Then, upon the next guest
exit, do a full KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC. This ensures that a re-scan of
the ioapic occurs only when the recorded vector is EOI'd, and
subsequently, the extra bit in the eoi_exit_bitmap are cleared,
avoiding unnecessary VM exits.
