[PATCH v4 09/12] KVM: x86: Don't snapshot pending INIT/SIPI prior to checking nested events

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Don't snapshot pending INIT/SIPI events prior to checking nested events,
architecturally there's nothing wrong with KVM processing (dropping) a
SIPI that is received immediately after synthesizing a VM-Exit.  Taking
and consuming the snapshot makes the flow way more subtle than it needs
to be, e.g. nVMX consumes/clears events that trigger VM-Exit (INIT/SIPI),
and so at first glance it appears that KVM is double-dipping on pending
INITs and SIPIs.  But that's not the case because INIT is blocked
unconditionally in VMX root mode the CPU cannot be in wait-for_SIPI after
VM-Exit, i.e. the paths that truly consume the snapshot are unreachable
if apic->pending_events is modified by kvm_check_nested_events().

nSVM is a similar story as GIF is cleared by the CPU on VM-Exit; INIT is
blocked regardless of whether or not it was pending prior to VM-Exit.

Drop the snapshot logic so that a future fix doesn't create weirdness
when kvm_vcpu_running()'s call to kvm_check_nested_events() is moved to
vcpu_block().  In that case, kvm_check_nested_events() will be called
immediately before kvm_apic_accept_events(), which raises the obvious
question of why that change doesn't break the snapshot logic.

Note, there is a subtle functional change.  Previously, KVM would clear
pending SIPIs if and only SIPI was pending prior to VM-Exit, whereas now
KVM clears pending SIPI unconditionally if INIT+SIPI are blocked.  The
latter is architecturally allowed, as SIPI is ignored if the CPU is not
in wait-for-SIPI mode (arguably, KVM should be even more aggressive in
dropping SIPIs).  It is software's responsibility to ensure the SIPI is
delivered, i.e. software shouldn't be firing INIT-SIPI at a CPU until
it knows with 100% certaining that the target CPU isn't in VMX root mode.

Furthermore, the existing code is extra weird as SIPIs that arrive after
VM-Exit _are_ dropped if there also happened to be a pending SIPI before
VM-Exit.
