KVM: x86: fix apic_accept_events vs check_nested_events
vmx_apic_init_signal_blocked is buggy in that it returns true even in VMX non-root mode. In non-root mode, however, INITs are not latched, they just cause a vmexit. Previously, KVM was waiting for them to be processed when kvm_apic_accept_events and in the meanwhile it ate the SIPIs that the processor received. However, in order to implement the wait-for-SIPI activity state, KVM will have to process KVM_APIC_SIPI in vmx_check_nested_events, and it will not be possible anymore to disregard SIPIs in non-root mode as the code is currently doing. By calling kvm_x86_ops.nested_ops->check_events, we can force a vmexit (with the side-effect of latching INITs) before incorrectly injecting an INIT or SIPI in a guest, and therefore vmx_apic_init_signal_blocked can do the right thing.
