[PATCH v2 3/3] KVM: vCPU kick tax cut for running vCPU

[Wanpeng Li <kernellwp@gmail.com>]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>

Sometimes a vCPU kick is following a pending request, even if @vcpu is 
the running vCPU. It suffers from both rcuwait_wake_up() which has 
rcu/memory barrier operations and cmpxchg(). Let's check vcpu->wait 
before rcu_wait_wake_up() and whether @vcpu is the running vCPU before 
cmpxchg() to tax cut this overhead.

We evaluate the kvm-unit-test/vmexit.flat on an Intel ICX box, most of the 
scores can improve ~600 cpu cycles especially when APICv is disabled.

v1 -> v2:
 * move checking running vCPU logic to kvm_vcpu_kick
 * check rcuwait_active(&vcpu->wait) etc
