KVM: SVM: fix race between interrupt delivery and AVIC inhibition



If svm_deliver_avic_intr is called just after the target vcpu's AVIC got
inhibited, it might read a stale value of vcpu->arch.apicv_active
which can lead to the target vCPU not noticing the interrupt.

To fix this use load-acquire/store-release so that, if the target vCPU
is IN_GUEST_MODE, we're guaranteed to see a previous disabling of the
AVIC.  If AVIC has been disabled in the meanwhile, proceed with the
KVM_REQ_EVENT-based delivery.

Incomplete IPI vmexit has the same races as svm_deliver_avic_intr, and
in fact it can be handled in exactly the same way; the only difference
lies in who has set IRR, whether svm_deliver_interrupt or the processor.
Therefore, svm_complete_interrupt_delivery can be used to fix incomplete
IPI vmexits as well.
