[PATCH v2 35/43] KVM: SVM: Signal AVIC doorbell iff vCPU is in guest mode

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Date: 2021-10-09 02:16:36
Also in: kvm, kvm-riscv, kvmarm, linux-arm-kernel, linux-riscv, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Signal the AVIC doorbell iff the vCPU is running in the guest.  If the vCPU
is not IN_GUEST_MODE, it's guaranteed to pick up any pending IRQs on the
next VMRUN, which unconditionally processes the vIRR.

Add comments to document the logic.
