Introduce a generic setter, kvm_set_mp_state(), and use that to ensure that
pv_unhalted is cleared on all transitions to KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE.

Replace all open-coded assignments to vcpu->arch.mp_state with calls
to a new helper, kvm_set_mp_state(), to centralize all changes to
mp_state.

No functional change intended.

It wouldn't be appropriate in this patch, but I think it makes sense to invoke
kvm_set_mp_state() instead of open coding the pv.pv_unhalted change.  E.g. if
the vCPU is somehow not already RUNNABLE (which is a bug?), then depending on
when pv_unhalted is set, KVM could either leave the vCPU in the non-RUNNABLE
state (set before __kvm_emulate_halt()), or transition the vCPU to HALTED and
then RUNNABLE (pv_unhalted set after the kvm_vcpu_has_events() check).

Untested, but this?  I'll test and post a patch (assuming it works).

In kvm_set_mp_state(), ensure that vcpu->arch.pv.pv_unhalted is always
cleared on a transition to KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE, so that the next HLT
instruction will be respected.

The "fixes" list may be incompplete.

The only commit I'm not sure of is commit 1a65105a5aba ("KVM: x86/xen:
handle PV spinlocks slowpath"). That commit introduces an mp_state
transition to KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE  without clearing pv_unhalted, so
perhaps it should be in the "fixes" list. OTOH, this seems to be an
independent implementation of PV spinlocks, so maybe it's not a
problem.

I'll add it to the list, and drop the "list may be incomplete" line.
KVM_HC_KICK_CPU is unreachable if Xen hypercalls are enabled, but nothing would
prevent a clever guest from sending an virtual IPI with APIC_DM_REMRD.  Whether
or not that makes the Xen code a KVM bug is definitely debatable, but I can't
imagine will care about Fixes being slightly overzealous.
