KVM: x86: do not set st->preempted when going back to user space
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> commit 54aa83c9 upstream. Similar to the Xen path, only change the vCPU's reported state if the vCPU was actually preempted. The reason for KVM's behavior is that for example optimistic spinning might not be a good idea if the guest is doing repeated exits to userspace; however, it is confusing and unlikely to make a difference, because well-tuned guests will hardly ever exit KVM_RUN in the first place.
