I'd prefer to keep "guest_tsc < tsc_deadline" here, just so that it's
obvious that the call to __wait_lapic_expire() is safe.  My eyes did a
few double takes reading this code :-)

This needs to be guarded with lapic_in_kernel(vcpu).  But, since this is
all in the same flow, a better approach would be to return the delta from
wait_lapic_expire().  That saves 8 bytes in struct kvm_timer and avoids
additional checks for tracing the delta.

E.g.:

	s64 lapic_expire_delta;

	...

        if (lapic_in_kernel(vcpu) &&
            vcpu->arch.apic->lapic_timer.timer_advance_ns)
                lapic_expire_delta = wait_lapic_expire(vcpu);
	else
		lapic_expire_delta = 0;

	...
	
	trace_kvm_wait_lapic_expire(vcpu->vcpu_id, lapic_expire_delta);
