[PATCH v4 22/23] KVM: nVMX: Don't load+put the vCPU when freeing nested state for a dying vCPU

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Drop the vcpu_{load,put}() pair when freeing nested state for a dying vCPU,
as nothing in what was free_nested() requires the vCPU to be loaded, common
x86 doesn't require the vCPU to be loaded when it's dying (because SVM
never loads the vCPU), KVM now explicitly handles taking the vCPU off the
PI wakeup list (was subtly being handled by vt_vcpu_pi_load()), and the
rest of vmx_vcpu_load() has no effects outside of loading/modifying the
VMCS or vCPU-specific metadata.

As for put(), because the vCPU obviously can't be loaded at the start of
nested_vmx_free_vcpu(), "guest_state_loaded" can't be true and thus
vmx_prepare_switch_to_host() must be a nop.  Similarly, the vCPU can't be
blocking when it's dying, and so vt_vcpu_pi_put() is also a nop (and if
it's not, that would be a fatal bug as it means the vCPU would be left on
the PI wakeup list after being freed).
