iommu/amd: Program guest-mode IRTEs for GAPPI wakeup when IRTE[IsRun] = 0
This commit enables programming the IRTE for Guest APIC Physical Processor
Interrupt (GAPPI) wakeup when a vCPU is not running. It allows suppressing
these interrupts using the IRTE[GAPPIDis] bit when KVM does not request a
wakeup interrupt.

[Severity: Low]
When a vCPU transitions to the running state, ga_log_intr is explicitly
cleared here. Does gappi_dis also need to be cleared?
If a vCPU transitions to is_running=false with wakeup_intr=false,
gappi_dis can be set to 1 in the newly added else branch below. When the
vCPU transitions back to is_running=true, this code path is taken, but it
leaves the gappi_dis bit stale.
Could this cause unintended interrupt suppression or hardware state mismatches
if the IOMMU hardware evaluates the bit unexpectedly?
