KVM: VMX: Remove vCPU from PI wakeup list before updating PID.NV
Remove the vCPU from the wakeup list before updating the notification
vector in the posted interrupt post-block helper. There is no need to
wake the current vCPU as it is by definition not blocking. Practically
speaking this is a nop as it only shaves a few meager cycles in the
unlikely case that the vCPU was migrated and the previous pCPU gets a
wakeup IRQ right before PID.NV is updated. The real motivation is to
allow for more readable code in the future, when post-block is merged
with vmx_vcpu_pi_load(), at which point removal from the list will be
conditional on the old notification vector.
Opportunistically add comments to document why KVM has a per-CPU spinlock
that, at first glance, appears to be taken only on the owning CPU.
Explicitly call out that the spinlock must be taken with IRQs disabled, a
detail that was "lost" when KVM switched from spin_lock_irqsave() to
spin_lock(), with IRQs disabled for the entirety of the relevant path.
