[PATCH 5/5] KVM: nVMX: Honor event priority when emulating PI delivery during VM-Enter

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Move the handling of a nested posted interrupt notification that is
unblocked by nested VM-Enter (unblocks L1 IRQs when ack-on-exit is enabled
by L1) from VM-Enter emulation to vmx_check_nested_events().  To avoid a
pointless forced immediate exit, i.e. to not regress IRQ delivery latency
when a nested posted interrupt is pending at VM-Enter, block processing of
the notification IRQ if and only if KVM must block _all_ events.  Unlike
injected events, KVM doesn't need to actually enter L2 before updating the
vIRR and vmcs02.GUEST_INTR_STATUS, as the resulting L2 IRQ will be blocked
by hardware itself, until VM-Enter to L2 completes.

Note, very strictly speaking, moving the IRQ from L2's PIR to IRR before
entering L2 is still technically wrong.  But, practically speaking, only a
userspace that is deliberately checking KVM_STATE_NESTED_RUN_PENDING
against PIR and IRR can even notice; L2 will see architecturally correct
behavior, as KVM ensure the VM-Enter is finished before doing anything
that would effectively preempt the PIR=>IRR movement.
