Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Ignore pending PV EOI if the vCPU has since
disabled PV EOIs
Ignore KVM's internal "service pending PV EOI" request if the vCPU has
disabled PV EOIs since the request was made. Asserting that PV EOIs are
enabled can fail if reading guest memory in pv_eoi_get_user() fails, i.e.
if pv_eoi_test_and_clr_pending() bails early, *and* the vCPU also disables
PV EOIs.
