KVM: Fix leak vCPU's VMCS value into other pCPU



After commit d73eb57b (KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts), a
five years old bug is exposed. Running ebizzy benchmark in three 80 vCPUs VMs
on one 80 pCPUs Skylake server, a lot of rcu_sched stall warning splatting
in the VMs after stress testing:

 INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 4 41 57 62 77} (detected by 15, t=60004 jiffies, g=899, c=898, q=15073)
 Call Trace:
   flush_tlb_mm_range+0x68/0x140
   tlb_flush_mmu.part.75+0x37/0xe0
   tlb_finish_mmu+0x55/0x60
   zap_page_range+0x142/0x190
   SyS_madvise+0x3cd/0x9c0
   system_call_fastpath+0x1c/0x21

swait_active() sustains to be true before finish_swait() is called in
kvm_vcpu_block(), voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken into account
by kvm_vcpu_on_spin() loop greatly increases the probability condition
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable(vcpu) is checked and can be true, when APICv
is enabled the yield-candidate vCPU's VMCS RVI field leaks(by
vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()) into spinning-on-a-taken-lock vCPU's current
VMCS.

This patch fixes it by checking conservatively a subset of events.
