Wanpeng Li 6550c4df7e KVM: nVMX: Fix interrupt window request with "Acknowledge interrupt on exit"

This can be reproduced by booting L1 guest w/ 'noapic' grub parameter, which
means that tells the kernel to not make use of any IOAPICs that may be present
in the system.

Actually external_intr variable in nested_vmx_vmexit() is the req_int_win
variable passed from vcpu_enter_guest() which means that the L0's userspace
requests an irq window. I observed the scenario (!kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) &&
L0's userspace reqeusts an irq window) is true, so there is no interrupt which
L1 requires to inject to L2, we should not attempt to emualte "Acknowledge
interrupt on exit" for the irq window requirement in this scenario.

This patch fixes it by not attempt to emulate "Acknowledge interrupt on exit"
if there is no L1 requirement to inject an interrupt to L2.

[Added code comment to make it obvious that the behavior is not correct.
 We should do a userspace exit with open interrupt window instead of the
 nested VM exit.  This patch still improves the behavior, so it was
 accepted as a (temporary) workaround.]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
