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.
