Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] Drivers: hv: Handle NEED_RESCHED_LAZY before
 transferring to guest

Check for NEED_RESCHED_LAZY, not just NEED_RESCHED, prior to transferring
control to a guest.  Failure to check for lazy resched can unnecessarily
delay rescheduling until the next tick when using a lazy preemption model.

Note, ideally both the checking and processing of TIF bits would be handled
in common code, to avoid having to keep three separate paths synchronized,
but defer such cleanups to the future to keep the fix as standalone as
possible.
