KVM: x86: make KVM_REQ_NMI request iff NMI pending for vcpu



kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() routine makes 'KVM_REQ_NMI'
request for a vcpu even when its 'events->nmi.pending' is zero.
Ex:
    qemu_thread_start
     kvm_vcpu_thread_fn
      qemu_wait_io_event
       qemu_wait_io_event_common
        process_queued_cpu_work
         do_kvm_cpu_synchronize_post_init/_reset
          kvm_arch_put_registers
           kvm_put_vcpu_events (cpu, level=[2|3])

This leads vCPU threads in QEMU to constantly acquire & release the
global mutex lock, delaying the guest boot due to lock contention.
Add check to make KVM_REQ_NMI request only if vcpu has NMI pending.
