I think we're seeing what Radim describes. So this is now a different
call order.

The VCPU is set to KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED (which results in
KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED). Then, KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS
is set with KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SMM | KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_NMI_PENDING,
enabling SMM.

Calling kvm_apic_accept_events() then will result in a warning on the
next VCPU run.

So the right thing is indeed adding an additional checks for
KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS.
