[PATCH v4 5/7] KVM: VMX: Optimize posted-interrupt delivery for timer fastpath

[Wanpeng Li <kernellwp@gmail.com>]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>

Optimizing posted-interrupt delivery especially for the timer fastpath
scenario, I observe kvm_x86_ops.deliver_posted_interrupt() has more latency
then vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() in the case of timer fastpath scenario, since
it needs to wait vmentry, after that it can handle external interrupt, ack
the notification vector, read posted-interrupt descriptor etc, it is slower
than evaluate and delivery during vmentry immediately approach. Let's skip
sending interrupt to notify target pCPU and replace by vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()
before each reenter guest.
