KVM: VMX: Wake vCPU when delivering posted IRQ even if vCPU == this vCPU
Drop a check that guards triggering a posted interrupt on the currently running vCPU, and more importantly guards waking the target vCPU if triggering a posted interrupt fails because the vCPU isn't IN_GUEST_MODE. If a vIRQ is delivered from asynchronous context, the target vCPU can be the currently running vCPU and can also be blocking, in which case skipping kvm_vcpu_wake_up() is effectively dropping what is supposed to be a wake event for the vCPU. The "do nothing" logic when "vcpu == running_vcpu" mostly works only because the majority of calls to ->deliver_posted_interrupt(), especially when using posted interrupts, come from synchronous KVM context. But if a device is exposed to the guest using vfio-pci passthrough, the VFIO IRQ and vCPU are bound to the same pCPU, and the IRQ is _not_ configured to use posted interrupts, wake events from the device will be delivered to KVM from IRQ context, e.g. vfio_msihandler() | |-> eventfd_signal() | |-> ... | |-> irqfd_wakeup() | |->kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic() | |-> kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic_fast() | |-> kvm_apic_set_irq() This also aligns the non-nested and nested usage of triggering posted interrupts, and will allow for additional cleanups.
