KVM: VMX: Wake vCPU when delivering posted IRQ even if vCPU == this vCPU
Drop a check that guards triggering a posted interrupt on the currently
running vCPU, and more importantly guards waking the target vCPU if
triggering a posted interrupt fails because the vCPU isn't IN_GUEST_MODE.
If a vIRQ is delivered from asynchronous context, the target vCPU can be
the currently running vCPU and can also be blocking, in which case
skipping kvm_vcpu_wake_up() is effectively dropping what is supposed to
be a wake event for the vCPU.
The "do nothing" logic when "vcpu == running_vcpu" mostly works only
because the majority of calls to ->deliver_posted_interrupt(), especially
when using posted interrupts, come from synchronous KVM context. But if
a device is exposed to the guest using vfio-pci passthrough, the VFIO IRQ
and vCPU are bound to the same pCPU, and the IRQ is _not_ configured to
use posted interrupts, wake events from the device will be delivered to
KVM from IRQ context, e.g.
vfio_msihandler()
|
|-> eventfd_signal()
|
|-> ...
|
|-> irqfd_wakeup()
|
|->kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic()
|
|-> kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic_fast()
|
|-> kvm_apic_set_irq()
This also aligns the non-nested and nested usage of triggering posted
interrupts, and will allow for additional cleanups.
